Tom Sheppard<p>And USB drive enclosures are crap. I have 5 drives in my RAID. I bought matching <a href="https://twit.social/tags/Orico" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Orico</span></a> enclosures. I've had a 60% failure rate. I replaced two of the enclosures with a <a href="https://twit.social/tags/Maiwo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Maiwo</span></a> a year ago. If the disconnecting drive is an enclosure problem, then that's another brand to avoid.</p><p>For my own sanity I may have no other choice than to buy an expensive Synology NAS and 10 GbE card to get a DAS equivalent. I have a baby Synology DS-116 and it's a trooper.</p>
