Selfhosted
A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.
Rules:
-
Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.
-
No spam posting.
-
Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.
-
Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.
-
Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).
-
No trolling.

SSDs draw less power than HDDs, first of all. But regardless, if the enclosure chipset is poor quality and/or hasn't been designed to run 24/7 it can overheat and disconnect intermittently or permanently.
And that's without going into the quality of the USB and drivers on the host.
You either lucked out or you've been having silent file corruptions going for 10 years without realizing. What filesystems do you have on those disks?
I use an expensive JBOD USB/e-SATA BOX to host 4 ssd's (nowadays, but those has been hdd's until 2022) connected via usb3. The box has a huge fan too.
I think the issue is not USB itself but how cheap you go with your enclosure...
No, can confirm no data corruption. Can I be 100% sure? No I cannot of course.
I use EXT4, which again never gave me issues whatsoever. So far.
