    Hello, I have issues running WD USB 3.0 1TB HD on my x7200. Sooner or later the WD will cause one of my internal HDs (3 hybrid 500MB in raid 5) to fail and go offline and forces me to rebuild the raid. Which internal HD that gets dcd seems completely random.

    Being a layman my best guess is that the WD pulls out too much power over the USB 3.0 and thus causes the internal HD failure. Anyone withthe same problem, and found a fix for it?
