It is possible that for UAS the counters are purely wrong and that no IO is really happening. I have seen the perf counters be wrong in a number of ways for a number of devices and often no one notices that the counters are wrong. And since the counters being wrong does not really affect it working or not this is often missed. If it is a spinning disk you might try listening to it and see if it is really doing something.
