    Hey folks,

    Looks like my Hub keeps failing after a few hours - I'm on a hunch its
    the USB storage, so I've replaced it with a USB caddy holding an SSD
    drive.

    Sorry for the hastles - just when I was starting to ignore it because it was running soooo well, it started failing. :(

    After over an TB of data writes (just an estimate), I'm still waiting for my SD card to fail. I'm starting to trust the SD storage (until it fails ;)).

    Yeah, I've had good luck with SD cards - none have failed yet, and I've had the same one in my Pi 3+ when I first got the 3+ (when it was released).

    Hub 3's failure was a new SAN disk USB stick - and its only a month old... :|

    good to know. there are so many reports of failing sd cards after a couple of months.

    I wouldn't use USB sticks. They usually don't support fstrim and wear out faster (at least in my experience). One month is a very short lifespan though, especially for SanDisk. (my SD card is from SanDisk)

    I've replaced it with a USB caddy holding an SSD drive.

    There is hope that it will last much longer. Do you know if your caddy supports fstrim?

    I dont think so.

    The PI is running ESXi and it doesnt recognise the disk as an SSD. So fstrim doesnt work in guest.... ;(
