WD30EZRX constantly accesses itself?

I just bought a second one for my Synology NAS. The first drive has been very quiet when not in use. But this one keeps accessing itself. As if it is reading through everything.

The SMART info in the NAS doesn’t list any errors.

I’m sure nothing else writes to the drive - is this just something they do when they are new or what is going on?

Try running a test with DLG.

Yeah, Synology NAS runs on ARM chips, so unless you have a version for that…

(And NO errors reported, just continual access)
