So my SSHD barely makes any noise when in-game, but when on the internet or idle, its loud. Health checks from HDTunePro come back completely clean and heres my benchmark. The spike drops are from my disk being accessed during the test according to Task Manger:

UPDATE: I did another scan making sure all unimportant programs were off and instead of those giant spikes it's now like this:

Hey there, ZombieRobo.

If you've performed a quick test of some sort, I'd suggest that you try the long/extended test as well, just to make sure that everything is OK.
Has this always been an issue or did it start recently? If it started recently, do you remember doing anything in particular before the issue occurred?
I'd recommend that you try the drive with a different SATA port and cables, to see if the same thing happens.
If the test doesn't show any issues and if there's no change when you test the drive with a different port and cables, perhaps you could get in touch with the SSHD manufacturer's customer support for further assistance, but if the noise is not irregular and does not exceed the dB mentioned in the drive's specs...

Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
