Been using eSATA here for multiple disk packs continuously connected for
a few years now for 48TB of data (not enough room in the host for the
disks).

Never suffered am eSATA disconnect.

Had the usual cooling fan fails and HDD fails due to old age.


All just a case of ensuring undisturbed clean cabling and a good UPS?...

(BTRFS spanning four disks per external pack has worked well also.)

Good luck,
Martin
