Does anyone have any experience how reliable is such modern USB attached storage when run 24/7? Some years back I made a box (x86, not RPi) with a bunch of USB connected drives (from Western Digital, if I remember correctly). After a few days of uptime the drives would simply drop from the bus. I was guessing there was a bug in the drive’s USB controller.
These devices are usually meant to be used as a carrier that’s only connected to a computer to load/off load data. Long-term operation probably isn’t a priority when developing them.
