Probably getting into too much detail here, but what was really strange was that if I kept the source rate down to 50MB/s the drive could keep up, but when I let the input rate climb to 100MB/s the drive fell to its knees and cried for mercy. Remove the NTFS compression flag and the drive happily kept up with speeds at better than 110MB/s.

LOL, cried for mercy. Mine seem to be reasonably happy, so, for now, I'll keep my fingers crossed.
