DS_Store or similar files are being dumped when traversing but there must be some other "thing" that's looking through/at the drive when it's initially plugged in causing me not to be able to navigate it. I've disabled spotlight and made sure no. Weird thing is, I managed to get about 500Gb off it initially with it only ejecting rarely. My guess is there's something scanning/reading those drives from the initial mount, reading bad data, chucking them for whatever reason, and it remounts. Every time I try and navigate the drive now (either via Finder or terminal), the drives eject and then reconnect themselves - leaving the data on the drive, giving me the message, then remounting the drive in a few seconds (repeat). There's about 200 Gb of information left on there that I need to transfer off. I decided to start pulling as much of the data off the drives to start that process but I've now ran into quite a large one. Turns out, there's a bit of an issue with drives like this and the only way it'll work is formatting 4 of the drives as a RAID and leaving the "top" drive (the first drive in the bay) as a standalone unit. Usually there's a large file transfer that causes this to happen and so I decided to investigate and fix. I've let my Mac do a software RAID on it but it seems I've ran into a bit of a problem - at very random intervals the drives eject themselves and I get the usual "Disk Not Ejected Properly" error message. I've got a Sharkoon 5 bay RAID station with 5 x 2TB drives in it.
