I’ve tried to respond to everyone who have given their opinion of my set up in a top level comment to try and keep it on topic.
You can respond there if you feel like you have anything to add.
I would strongly look into proper SAS or Sata. USB is not designed for what you are doing. Also writing a long comment comment about how you have been in tech for decades does not make your setup any less crazy. I can not understate that a standard setup would be way better.
That sounds absolutely gross.

Your setup is definitely “non standard”

I did ru my nas over USB for 20 years. Never had an issue. But I never had more than 6 USB drives and 2 or 3 USB network Ethernet card tough.
All with Linux software raid.
Switched to a full desktop case and now enjoying internal sata.
