Thank you,

perhaps I should try with a loop next time:

[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$ ps aux|grep D|grep -v grep
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND
[weremouse at moonstudio ~]$

A script running lm-profiler didn't find anything /dev/sdc related, while
the Start_Stop and Load_Cycle counts increased.
The script is posted here:
https://lists.ubuntu.com/archives/ubuntu-devel-discuss/2015-August/015686.html

sdc   is the external green drive
sdb11 is the Ubuntu install including all directories,
      no separated partitions, excepted of data partitions

This is the relevant part of the script's log file:

If you want to disable this program, you should do so manually.

Do you want to disable this service in battery mode? [y/N]:
