Added a 4th drive, waited 2 days and it still spins up every few minutes

Hi all

I have the latest version of TOS and 3 x 4TB drives in the bay. I recently added a 4th, had to wait for 2 days (nearly 3) for the RAID array to rebuild and balance itself, etc but since then, every few minutes, the drive has started reading/writing. I'm not DOING anything on it, it is just sat there idling and every 3 or 4 minutes, it just starts spinning up.

Does anyone know what is causing this? It didn't happen before the new drive was installed.

Has the RAID sync finished? Please wait for the synchronization to complete to see if the phenomenon still occurs.
