First off thanks guys for all the responses. So a bit of clarification: This 2TB Seagate was previously used at a storage drive in a WIn10 system.. my old system from about 2 years back. When I migrated to Fedora I kept it unmounted for quite a while until a couple months ago. To be honest I cannot recall currently what it is formatted as right now... I have a suspicion it's still NTFS just because I have no other device to offload the data too in order to reformat as something better. However I will verify that tonight. And no this disk is a single huge partition. In addition it's not a green drive.. so there should be no spinning down to save energy (that I know of).
@Patrick, What you describe with your previous mounted NAS that is the exact activity I see.
