if you use USB connected drives on a Pi, and also the network, you're
switching
between eth/wifi and USB "A LOT" (it uses the same hardware/chipset). If
you power the
drives through USB that is not a good thing. For modest amounts of data
I just use a/the
SD card (the video/photo ones can handle a lot more writes than standard
ones) or I use NFS
when I need larger data sets).
(I run a seismograph on a PI, it does data collection, and 24/7 sends
data to a database
every 1-2 seconds and never had issues.)

Greetings all;
Back in the middle of May 2019, I ordered, from newegg.com, three 240GB
SSD's and 3 rosewill usb-3.1 to sata adapter cables so I could use them
as std drives on my pi's.
All of the rosewell adapters have now died. Called newegg, got run
around, hit tigerdirect and had 4 startech's at about 5 bucks more
ordered in less that 5 minutes. We'll see how they work.
So right now newegg and rosewill are bad kharma to me.
Cheers, Gene Heskett
