tl;dr: Anybody recommend a reliable USB3-to-SATA hard drive enclosure for Linux with large drives?
Details: I recently bought a Seagate IronWolf 8TB SATA HD and installed it inside an Inateck USB3-to-SATA enclosure to use as a backup drive. I get errors in the middle of file transfers: rsync: write failed on "<filename here>": Read-only file system (30) rsync error: error in file IO (code 11) at receiver.c(393) [receiver=3.1.2] and the drive becomes inaccessible: $ ls /mnt/backups /bin/ls: reading directory '/mnt/backups': Input/output error though it's mounted: $ df -h /dev/sdc1 Filesystem Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on /dev/sdc1 7.3T 1.9T 5.0T 28% /mnt/backups Unmounting and remounting usually relieves the symptom. "fsck -f" reports no drive errors on the ext4 filesystem. I suspect the Inatek enclosure is the problem, based on reports from other users. Can anyone recommend an enclosure that's reliable?
