Jason et al,
Having been caught out by iffy usb cables in the past I recently built
the Silicon Chip cable tester which works rather well. I've also come
across usb cables which have been intended for power supply only and not
power + data. These also caused a bit of head scratching as well.
Happy New Year to all

To back what Duncan said, yes, it's always worthwhile trying a

cables!
I connected it to a different port on the hub (further away from the
other cables), and had more success.
What I was going to suggest is to use smartctl (from the
smartmontools package, at least on Debian). You can investigate
the SMART status, and even run self tests.
Thank you for the reminder - I had forgotten one could run smartctl
via USB.
The short SMART self-test passed, and the btrfs scrub (thank you for
that suggestion as well) reported no errors. In addition, I was able
to complete an rsync process.
I suspect the connection or the cable.
