I have been using USB mirrored disks for backup purposes for about eight months now. No data loss, or even any reported uncorrectable read failures. These disks have been shared between two different systems (x86 and SPARC). The documentation said that I should use zfs export/import and so that is what I have done, with no problems. While these USB disks seem to be working reliably, it is certainly possible to construct a USB arrangement which does not work reliably since most USB hardware is cheap junk. My USB disks are direct attached and don't go through a USB bridge.
