My raid is on top of five physical sata disc. That usb messages are related to usb keys which I have used on that PC.

Yes, still there is activity (first few lines from iotop):

Total DISK READ: 0.00 B/s | Total DISK WRITE: 134.97 K/s
  TID  PRIO  USER     DISK READ  DISK WRITE  SWAPIN     IO>    COMMAND
