The reason it's spinning is the speed of the machine.
If you are that annoyed with the noise from it then you might want to look at replacing that with another SSD.

OMG why didnt I think of that! Oh wait... how much is a 2TB SSD again?...
Have you selected the SSD as the boot disk under system preferences?
He must have, if he hasn't then the imac wouldn't even be able to boot because the OS won't be on the second drive.

The way the new iMacs with two drives are delivered they take a long time to boot before the apple logo even apears. If you select the SSD as default boot disk it WILL boot much faster. Mine boots from cold in 24 seconds. From the time the apple logo apears and it actually starts loading its 10 seconds until desktop.
