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.
