Windows Central Question

Hello guys,

I just connected eight 10 TB hard drives to my PC through USB 3.1. I am using the Mediasonic 8 bay enclosure found here.

It's connected to the PC running Windows 10 on Asus' Z370 motherboard.

When I'm copying files to the drives (3 or 4 copy operations running at the same time while also downloading multiple files on Qbitorrent), randomly the processes are suspended and I get an error (code: 0x800701B1).

When I click on "Try Again," the processes resume normally. I have to resume Qbitorrent downloads as well since they were moved under "errorred."

Here's what I tried so far:

Disable "USB Selective Suspend"

Disable "turn off hard drive after"

Disable "allow the computer to turn off this device to save power"

What I will try when I get access to the PC:

Change USB port

Change USB cable (the cable is new, by the way)

Anything else I should be looking into?
 
If you just do a few copy operations, and disable torrenting completely, does it still happen? It may just be that perhaps torrenting takes over the processes and causes everything else to stop.
