Right, this sounds like a more widespread issue

That said, I couldn't reproduce it on SC8280XP / X13s (which does NOT mean
8280 isn't affected). My setup was:

- USB3 5GB/s hub plugged into one of the side USBs
  - on-hub 1 Gb /s network hub connected straight to my router with a
    600 / 60 Mbps link, spamming speedtest-cli and dd-over-ssh
  - M.2 SSD connected over a USB adapter, nearing 280 MB/s speeds (the
    adapter isn't particularly speedy)

So it stands to reason that it might not have been enough to trigger it.
