No you shouldn't.
I have seen this aswell but after I have updated to latest build with updated SSH and OpenVpn regarding hartblead all that have dissapered. Do you have PPTP server on?

I use to have a script to block that kind of scan attacks but haven't seen any attack lately.

I don't think the two things are connected. The attempt to connect from China only lasts a second and doesn't succeed so there's no way it can be effecting your USB drive.

There must be something else on the router or on your LAN that is attempting to access the USB drive. Are you sharing the contents of the drive with the media server or SAMBA for example? Do you put your traffic monitoring history on it?

BTW, I also see the same connection attempt once every 2 days from exactly the same IP address.
