Hello, I am trying to figure why 24 hours a day my disk(s) are reading or writing... I can hear it. I tried to use File Activity app, but all I see is temp stuff. Any idea how to fix this or what is doing it?

Thank you

FCP plugin doing the fileystem tests?

Is there a way to test to see if that is it? Or turn it off?

Turn the test off if that's an option, or remove the plugin and retest.

I removed that app, turned off all dockers and turned off auto start for them. After restarting, it is still happening. Any other ideas?

Boot in safe mode to rule out all plugins.

OMG, thank you for the Safe Mode suggestion and everyone's help. After all the drives were stopped, I still heard the drives! Opened up the case and found this fan making the noise. And I kid you not, it sounds exactly like a drive reading/writing. All the fans are Notuas except for this cheep PCI graphics card fan. It is keeping the SAS3008 12Gbps SATA/SAS 8-Port controller cool. Thanks again, John
