I'm surprised you didn't find an answer in your laptop's user manual. You did check your user manual, didn't you ? – pleinolijf Dec 5 '12 at 14:19
@pleinolijf I bought this laptop 2 year ago, I don't have the manual anymore. – user1798362 Dec 5 '12 at 15:56

It represents your laptop's hard drive. Whenever your hard disk is being accessed (reading or writing), the LED will light up.

A cylindrical shape is the universally accepted icon used to represent a hard disk. For background information, there is a good question on SU already.
