After a few hours, they both get umounted. I don't know why. I've checked journalctl, but there is nothing unusual logged. I've tried to mount the USB stick without the SSD plugged in, and the same happens, so it's not a power issue.
I've updated Arch without avail. I suspect this is a hardware problem

I'm running ARMv7 on a Pi 3B.
Anyone else having the same issue?
