Is it common to hear your hard drive kind of "start up" sometimes when directly accessing the content on that HD? all my OS etc. is installed on my SSD, but say I open explorer and explore the 1TB caviar black which is just storage, if its quiet in my room i can hear it kind of "start up" ?

yes it is normal because your storage drive isn't normally used so when you do "random access" on a file or whatnot, the hard drive has to spin up (your caviar black is a mechanical drive, it has moving parts unlike the SSD), so that is why you will hear your hard drive
however, you can minimaze those noise by buying shock absorbers that are like washers so they minimize the vibration from the hdd to the case
