augot Posted March 9, 2021 Share Posted March 9, 2021 (edited) Hmm, interesting. I've had some USB devices being a bit quirky since I started running a Windows VM as my daily driver on my server (5950x paired with an Asus X570-P Prime). I've got a few things plugged into a nine-port USB 3.0 hub - when I was running Windows on bare metal I never noticed anything strange, but now if I plug in more than 4-5 devices things definitely get... inconsistent. Windows doesn't register disconnections/connections, but for anything bluetooth (keyboards, mice, game controllers, etc) their connection is liable to have dropouts for a couple of seconds, up to half a dozen times a day. It's not a dealbreaker, it happens infrequently enough that I can live with it, but the possibility that it could corrupt my boot drive is not something I had considered...
