Hard drive spooling up?

Haven't been flight simming for a while because the experience isn't all that great with stutters and tics. I notice when I load a complex aircraft or scenery from the main screen, fsx freezes for about 5-10 seconds and I can hear my hard drive spool up and come to life followed by a buzz. Is this something normal, or did I choose another cheap drive?

CPU: i7-9700KF stable @ 5.0GHz | MOBO: ASUS ROG Maximus XI Hero | GPU: ASUS GTX 1080 Ti @ stock | RAM: G. Skill Trident Z 32GB (2x16GB) 3200Mhz | PSU: Corsair RM850x 80 Plus | COOLING: Deepcool Castle 240 AIO | PANEL: 27" @ 1080p

You have the power saving feature to turn off your hard drive in Windows. It has nothing to do with the drive quality.
