Because you are wearing the machine's connectors out. They are rated to
be *infrequently* changed out. When you do it on a regular basis it will
just be a matter of time until they develop electrical/physical problems.
If you want to use drives to ship data around plug in a USB hub and
connect USB drives to it. That way when the connectors inevitably wear
out all you need to replace is the hub (and/or the drives).
