Your USB3 controller is likely causing that flakiness. The second I moved my drives from my USB3 JBOD to my case is the second I stopped having errors and disconnections.

Replying indirectly as the sales come up on SD every 2-4 months.
$15/TB is the sales price target for apples to apples comparison.

Why should this be cheaper? If they are selling well around this price point, why would they lower it? Who knows, maybe we will get lucky and see these hit $100 like they did last year.
