Crew,
I've had a couple very interesting things happen to peripherals connected to my 2017 rMBP (MacBookPro14,3) in the last 24 hours. I have this machine from my workplace.
I was booted into an OS on an external SSD which stopped working in the middle of the day. I presumed that it overheated and that it cooked itself.
This morning I went over to Staples to get a small external drive so I could get back and running on my non-work image, and it didn't seem to excited to start, so I waited a couple minutes. After that time, the drive was especially hot and smelled like it got burned.
A couple weeks ago, I also had a USB-C GigE destroyed, and a downstream USB to serial adaptor (through a Belkin USB-C to USB-A) fried as well.
I find this particularly odd, and a touch troublesome. Has anyone else out there seen this? I have no idea what information to gather, but I'm going to have to go back and exchange the drive for one that isn't bus powered.
