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.

So fully updated F27, using Plasma I have a 2TB Seagate drive as a secondary storage device off a normal sata port. Accessing the disk via kdialog, Dolphin and Nautilus is slooow. Can take anywhere from 5 to 15 seconds to screens to update. Drive is perfectly normal under Win10.
What could be the troublw?
I used to see this when I had a NAS permanently mounted via NFS. The
NAS would periodically turn off its drives while not in use, but any
'open file' GUI dialogue would wait for it to spin up before letting me
do anything, even if the files I wanted weren't on the NAS.
Just a thought.

I think I've seen something like this. I have Seagate NASes which I don't want to keep constantly on, with lines in fstab to mount them via cifs. Manual mount and umount work ok when they are on, and they are supposed to be switched off via an icon in the web interface. I've seen slow window-switching after doing that. Is there a way to manage mount/umount automatically? One of them is in a 'family' setup.
