And you are using plenty of Powered usb hubs to make this work?

We have a few servers that use old tape backups and I want to phase out
tapes, so we started using external USB drives, and it seemed to work
for a bit,

but then the drives started 'dying', but if I put them on a different
machine some of them were fine, I have them all formatted as Primary
NTSF.

I am currently trying re-formatting one as Extended NTSF, anyone have
any experience with external drives? BTW I have 12 of them on one
machine.

The USB spec says up to 127 USB devices on one machine.
