Hi Sander.

Good to know. Indeed I think something's wrong with the enclosure, I
keep getting some minimal corruption from time to time. I also use btrfs
over luks.

 I'm considering buying a thunderbolt (I have a macbook pro) to esata
converter, as bypassing the usb interface might be more stable. I
imagine esata is better for btrfs then usb, correct ? Anyone here has
experience with thunderbolt in linux ? My understanding it that if
connected at boot time, devices should just appear as normal pci devices.

Best,
Miguel
