I have the same issue with this post:
Optane 32GB + Toshiba 3T HDD, Windows 10 fresh installation a week ago. HDD turns out a "constant activity" pattern after idle time of 10 minutes(windows power setting) with HDD LED light on and HDD head seems always busy searching something but fails to, making a continuous cracking sound. When I have any operation on the HDD, like open up a folder, the unusual activity pattern stops. After another 10 minutes the same pattern repeats again. When I disable Optane acceleration, this pattern never starts. Chinese simplified version of Windows 10 Education version. Is there a possible issue with RST power configuration on specific motherboards? Looking forward to your reply. SSU scan result system.txt attached.

Hi Eric_CH,
Thank you for contacting our support community.
We understand your concern regarding the Intel® Optane™ Memory. In order to better assist you, could you please confirm the following information:
*Are you experiencing any performance issues in his system?
*Are you determining that the Optane(TM) memory is accessing the HDD? Are you determining this just by the LED or do you get any error or report from the system?
*have you tried with a different HDD?
We will be waiting for your response.
Regards,
Junior M.

Hi, thanks for your reply.It seems that we have got into the same issue with HDD "constant activity".
*From my system performance, there is nothing wrong with HDD reading or writing. The only problem I infer is that when it comes to the time for HDD to power down after being idle for 10 minutes( as the HDD power saving setting in Windows) , the HDD wil be "constantly busy" with the R/W head cracking noise and the HDD LED on. When there is any operation on the HDD (and the idle mode is over), such as opening a folder or saving a file, that "busy" mode and cracking HDD head noise will stop at once. Therefore I don't think Optane is accessing the HDD, but Optane driver or application may prevent the HDD from entering power down idle mode. No other error report from the system.
*As for trying another HDD, I don't know if I have another mechanic HDD in GPT format. I will report later.
Regars,
Eric
