Is anybody experiencing this? What can be the cause? It seems like since I upgraded to node I have a lot of problems because it was running for almost a year with no issue.

I was going to only recommend SSD and USB drives with cables but these flash drives were a good compromise of cost vs performance, and of course they look super clean plugged into the Apollo  Grin
