Thanks again. My set up is that the NAS is connected to a switch which is in turn connected to a 4G WiFi Hub. I have ReadyCloud but no other cloud services enabled. No port forwarding and DHCP on the WiFi hub. When I disconnect the switch from the WAN disk activity ceases. I have disabled Readycloiud and reonnected teh WAN and still no abnormal activity so I guess the issue was with ReadyCLoud which I will now stop using. Thanks for your help!

Perhaps I should remove the data that I have and reset/reformat the whole thing?
I wouldn't do that yet.
You might try blocking internet access, but keep it connected to your local network. If your router doesn't let you do that, you can do a brief test by simply disconnecting the cable on the router's WAN port. Or configure the NAS to use a static IP address, and misconfigure the router field (using an IP on your local subnet that isn't used).
Do you have any ports forwarded to the NAS in your router?
Is ReadyCloud or any other cloud service enabled?
