When you put the drive to sleep, does running hddtemp on it wake it and does that make it spin and heat up again?

No, it just shows device on standby. I had put it to standby and not sleep so..

When you boot the computer and remove the "quiet" parameter, is the drive buzzing from the get-go or only once the ata messages show up?
Since you actually can put it to rest and the temperature check isn't waking it there's either some mode sense error (so at some point the drive is send a bad signal and goes wild) or:
It's the hibernating windows…

The drive starts buzzing on its own.
And I've disabled hibernation and fast boot in Windows.
Btw I have created the systemd service and enabled it.

Is it already active at the bootloader? (eg. when you just wait there)

Yeah the HDD was heating up at grub boot menu. I stayed there for 15 minutes after setting grub timeout -1.

So it's not kernel related - grub might do this, but I'd certainly check whether there's maybe a UEFI update available.
(Does it also heat up if you don't go to the bootloader but enter the BIOS and wait around there a bit?)

If it were related to BIOS then wouldn't it also heat up in windows. But right now I've been playing Rocket league in windows for an hour and have been booted in windows for over 2 hours. And the temperature is normal. So it's probably something that linux/Grub does. And windows is installed on HDD.

This is my partition scheme.
/dev/sda is HDD.
/dev/nvme0n1 is SSD.
/dev/sda2 has windows.

The first partition on HDD is in ext4 when I have completely installed windows on it. Do you think that's something which is messing with HDD when I boot into linux.

Edit: No it's something called microsoft reserved. My fault.

Ignores that windows ultimately takes control over the disk and does something with it and the general approach to implement UEFI is to poke around until windows stops crashing.
You can point at grub when it doesn't heat up in the BIOS.

It was heating in BIOS. But there are no updates of bios. I checked via the lenovo provided app. It seems the only solution is to keep it on standby in Linux and windows seems to take care of it.

Got one BIOS update. Updated BIOS. Still touching 47°C. Feels like something's happened to the drive itself. But but all smartd scans reports were no problem detected. And so were the hardware scans in windows.

Arch Linux
