I have it set as a slave, is it normal to hear it powering up and down at random times, or should it constantly have power??

sounds like you need to change your power management settings in control panel to keep the HD awake and not let it slip into slumber after inactivity. check control panel>power options> then change "turn off hard disks" to "never"
