I would worry about storing that much data this. Would need a decent size backup server to empty it into.
I use a 4 TB owc for video editing. The files live on temporary. But even that is pushing my current server capacity.
Sleep mode conflict: When the host cuts USB power (VBUS) during sleep, the SSD powers down completely.
Firmware behavior: On wake, the drive re‑enumerates as a new connection instead of resuming. This timing mismatch can cause missed detection or even corruption.
No fix planned: Support explicitly said there is no firmware improvement or patch in the pipeline to address suspend/resume reliability.
Workarounds only:
Keep USB power enabled during sleep (BIOS/OS setting).
Or use a powered hub so the SSD doesn't lose power.
If you can't tweak system settings (e.g., work machines), you may be stuck.
Bottom line: This isn't a temporary quirk — CS confirmed no firmware fix is coming. If you rely on sleep mode, expect to use host‑side workarounds or a powered hub, otherwise risk disconnects/corruption.
Would it worth replacing second drive on my laptop? My Lenovo Legion Pro 7 has two 1Tb drives inside. I was thinking of replacing second drive with a larger size for storage.
