1st are you sure that it is the HDD, most modern drives do not perform
thermal re-calibration, and those that do only do so every half hour or so.
Also if this is occurring it is a function of the drive not the host
computer.
2nd Are you sure that it is not a software program like office doing its
default indexing (or some other software doing a similar file index) if it
is happening at the same interval then it is probably S/W, ( Anti-Virus S/W
can also do this), try booting with extensions off and see if it still
happens.
