Are you storing your blockchain data on an external drive?

No, just using a little bitseed box. Everything worked fine for months, it just started stalling out, and attempts to force a blockchain rebuild don't seem to work. I may have to just reimage the drive.

Is it on an SD card? I used to have a RaspberryPi to run Bitcoin Core and stored on the SD card. The SD card got corrupted pretty quickly. They're just not made to have that much I/O.
