Yep, you're a Windows user alright.

Literally not even what he was implying by saying that but please continue

my HDD's are old as fuck and make a ton of noise when being used, it's exactly the same for me
>windows 10

its bad for hdd to spindown and spinup constantly
they live much longer when they work all the time when your pc is on
you can disable that in power options

windows 10 killed my mom's laptop hdd with its 100% bullshit

As far as I know it's disk defragmentation.
When the PC is idle is defragments and stops when use it detected.
I see it on my HDDs when I leave it idle.

That's just your operating system defragmenting your hard drive while you are idle.

Antivirus idle scan
and
Windows 7 and above does idle defrag

happy to help.

Sad!

windows runs defrag if it has been idle for a while
