are you sure there isn't any disk activity?

Yes sir .. I confirm this from resource monitor .. I set timer for 1 min and observed resouce monitor for more than 2 mins nothing is accessing my hdds but they keep spinning

I strongly believe my new build is the reason behind this ..

I heard bios options can over ride os settings .. if this is true .. my new motherboard is having some option regarding this .. I dont know which one it could be 🙁

if you can suggest some I can try sir

If you're doing intensive activities, which Windows 11 might sometimes do in the background, or add to, your hard drive could be being accessed due to a need for swap memory, which is just taking a tiny chunk of your drive, and treating it like memory. It could also be that your computer has to pull new resources from its files, which would also access your hard drive frequently, given a big enough load. Perhaps you should look into your memory usage, and see if some of it's working incorrectly, or if you don't have enough for your standard use case.

Just because you're not using the drive, the system and OS might be.

"1 minute inactivity" is far too short.
