Please check you don't have any service that is running for third party defragmenting utility. If that's the case, stop the service.
Similarly with archiving/backup utilities that perform a background backup or indexing task.
That could be a reason because the HDD led is alway running.
Also I would check with Cristal Disk Info whether there are some S.M.A.R.T. issues.
Then if possible, quit your OS and restart the PC.

Which Operating system are you using?
Does it Show in the My Computer Section if your using Windows?

And if its connected to your motherboard and receiving power for the PSU it should still run even if you dont use it.

And what do you mean by 100%,like its making the fans go max power or?...
