I had exactly the same problem with my F2-425 Plus. From the link provided by a TM staffer, it was something called 'Lazy initialisation' which runs after the drives have synchronised but I still don't know what's actually doing or why. It took about 20 hours for my two 18TB HDDs in RAID1 to finish. So leave it alone for another day and it should finish.

[Edit} I see I'm late responding to this. Did the drive activity eventually stop?
