It would seem like there should be a stronger way of securing the port to the board other than just the solder joint especially on portable units. If there isn’t a stronger way they should design a boss in the case to fit behind the port to relieve pressure. I’ve looked on Seagate foruims and see they have plenty of broken ports there also.I think they occasionally get a batch with poorly soldered joints and a poor inspection process at the supplier and at assembly both add to the problem.
