How is that? Like, are they breaking? Or messing up your data?

I have some similar ones from Thermaltake. They work just fine for USB, but you need a controller with PM capability to see both drives in eSATA mode.
There are no IDE toasters AFAIK, because the IDE spec does not support hot swapping. I've destroyed some drives that way. ;)

PM=Port Multiplier. Even some cheap PCI/e cards or onboard controllers support PM, such as those based on the SIL3132, JMB36X, etc.
