I have noticed that my MBP HD (Hitachi 500GB 5400 - came in MBP) is constantly reading/writing and I have no idea why. No new apps, no settings changed, just hear it working at a steady pace.

Anything that I could do to make it stop? And should I really be concerned with it?

I just shutdown and started back up with an uptime of just 20 minutes and already have 1.4 GB data read and 500MB data write. Only opened Mail, Safari to post this, Activity Monitor, and Terminal to check uptime.
