Hey, I'm still looking into why the drives were behaving this way. I don't think it is them spinning up - they shouldn't be asleep (my power plan is set to turn them off after 20 minutes of inactivity), so I'm not sure what this click/grinding noise for a second every few minutes is from yet.

Just created account since I had the same issue. HDDs are getting thrashed by the "ATA Statistics Support". It should be off by default. Hopefully people realize this issue and find the thread so they can turn it off. This is on newer drives than OP (within 1-5 years old)
