I have persistent problems with small USB hard drives that I use for

corrupted, which can be repaired using fsck. So far, there has been no 

perceptible loss of data

What I have been lately, is building my own with drives

with Rosewill backup cases (RX304-APU3-35B).  I populate

them with Western Digital drives.  Had one Blue drive

go bad.  I have since switched to Red and Black drives

and haven't had an issue.

Is there any error detection on the USB link between the device being backed up and the

Rosewill Box + Disk? Or do we just send the bits over the link and hope for the best?
