So i have yet to have any issues because of the USB enclosure. Literally nothing, and i’ve been using this for over 3 years now.
Updating you: Once I switched it to Typical I have not had any crashes. Its been almost a week, rather than the every other day I was experiencing before. I will report back in another week.
Thank you for letting us know.
To other readers: It’s not going to fix every older Ryzen instability issue, but it will take care of many of them and such a no-brainer thing to try.
Totally forgot to acknowledge this. The USB enclosure has been working fine until 2 days ago. I started getting checksum errors on the pool in the USB enclosure. The SMART data gives the individual drives the clear, so I am starting to think it is the USB enclosure to some capacity. Thankfully the data most recently moved onto the pool was just some movie rips so its not a big deal but I will start looking into alternatives. @lorenct recommended looking into Jonsbo cases which I will do but will be open to other suggestions. I don’t have a rack so I am going to be looking into tower style cases.
Edit: Its was working fine for over two years, I am just now getting issues

Update: Yeah that was the fix for me. I’ve had one issue on the crashing front but I think that stemmed from me installing the Nvidia drivers and not the power issue. No panics, and that was just a lockup with no error messages at all. Now just to diagnose my newly acquired zfs checksum errors

I am sure there are others, but those are some of the names and models of “NAS” focused enclosures I have researched my self. I hope this give you a good starting point.
I found what would be those settings in my BIOS, then monitored my Dragonfish “boot” instance for several weeks, and did not experience any crashes. I then did an update (rather than point to a previous Electric Eel boot point), and have allowed it to run for 3 weeks without issue. Previously, I believe EE would have crashed by now. I’ll continue to monitor, and post if anything unexpected happens. Thanks for the BIOS pointers.
