Just to chime in here, I've got a five slot USB3 external enclosure
running on my Debian Jessie x86_64 main file/backup server for home.
The data disks arent on here, they're mirrored on SATA controllers.
But I do use the USB3 disks for storing backups taken with Burp.  So
far, it's been really reliable for me.

But I never touch the cable between the systems, and neither system
moves or gets moved around.  So you *might* have better luck with USB3
than the older, slower USB2 external drives and chassis.
