Nah, I looked into it and USB is just super unreliable for any sort of array. The drives all worked just fine if I ran them as individual drives.
Yeah but like... where is the weak link? Is there some deficiency in the protocol itself? Or the implementation in the chipset on one or both sides? Or bandwidth, or overheating?
In my case, it wasn’t overheating. Drives rarely got above 75-80F. There were two large fans and plenty of ventilation to pull air through the enclosure. From what I’ve read, mostly on unRAID forums, it is USB that is the issue.
