Could be anything, from virus to windows defragmenting the disk... and so on...next time when it happens open task manager and check what process is using the disk...

keep in mind that hdd usage in task manager is zero

HDDs spin when power is applied regardless if it is being accessed or not the drive will spin.

isnt this gonna damage it? like why is it using hdd for no reason ihave os and chrome on ssd

It would actually be harder on the drive if it had to spin up and down all the time based on usage.
