Scenario: I have six hard drives of various sizes (all bar one in the 2TB-4TB range). It used to be that most of them were connected via my motherboard's USB headers, but most of those were USB 2.0.
I recently bought some generic PCI-E to USB 3.0 controllers (like this) to move some of those to USB 3.0. However, I have run into a serious problem: when DrivePool is installed, the USB connection becomes VERY intermittent. The drives connected to those controllers keep connecting and reconnecting - the connection will die for a second, then it'll be right back up. This happens minutes apart, if not less.
I believe this is a StableBit issue because this behavior does not happen when DrivePool or Scanner is not installed. If neither is installed, the drives behave normally. If either one is installed, the intermittent connections resume.
So... what's going on here? Has anyone else seen anything similar?
