Intense disk activity - what's going on

ReadyNAS 6.10.3 with 2 x Seagate IronWolf 16TB drives

 

Normally I am not near the NAS but a recent project has put me on a system near the unit.  I am hearing INTENSE disk activity.  I did a restart and activity continues.  Not seeing abnormal network activity.  SSH in and looking at "top" I see very significant run times for "ng-csd".  How do I determine what is causing intense activity and if there is a problem?   Unit seems to be running normally.   Cloud syncs are with Amazon, Dropbox, Google, and OneDrive.  Those syncs have been in place for a couple years and seem to be running running normally.  Nothing unusual in the log displays.

Do you use Google File Sync?  I thinbk ng-csd is part of that.  Intense activity could be scanning for changes.
