Hi all,
after 48 hrs of continuos grinding of the HDDs, even with all pc of the LAN disconnected and switched off, I start worrying about the possible damages of such so high and unexplicable over-activity.
The CPU is 100% all the time, even if it should have nothing to do, with all devices disconnected.
Having disabled all that one could disable, starting from Twonky Server, what the hell is doing my NAS?
Should I switch it off, reset or whatsoever to do before it will burn both my brand new 2TB WD red.
Being my first Zyxel NAS, I've got no previous usage experience and found no more hints than disabling what I have already disabled.
Any suggestion for such case from more experienced users?
Thank to all in advance.

    Self-answer: problem solved.
    Despite my belief that the high-load CPU functions were all disabled, I discovered from the logs, seeing the process appear intermittently, that the thumbnail generation did not stop, but was still active, who knows why.
    I re-disabled the function and turned off the NAS: upon restarting, the CPU finally stopped working in overload and, after the series of resynchronization operations, the HDDs could finally go on standby (it was time).
