Hi everyone,
I think I was able to identify the cause of the problem:
When I perform certain operations on the drive, like zipping files or unzipping, and especially when I save a file from the Chrome browser to the Cloud Pod it seems to generate an error on the disk that makes the whole unit nonfunctional (the light becomes steady red and the only way to make the pod work again is by unplugging the power cord and then plug it again).
After the error, even after resetting the unit, as soon as I try to access the file that I saved from Chrome, the Pod immediately halts again.
I was able to make the unit operational again by removing the drive and performing a disk error check that gave me the following results:
Checking file system and repairing if necessary and if possible.
Volume was successfully unmounted.
Performing fsck_exfat -y -x /dev/rdisk4s1
Checking volume.
Checking main boot region.

_____________________________________
After the scan, I plugged the unit into the pod again and for now, it seems stable, as long as I don't try to save files from the Chrome browser otherwise I will have to repeat the disk check again.
The SSD drive perfectly works as a regular USB drive and it doesn't have any hardware issues, including saving files from chrome.
More info regarding my system:
ExFat formatted. I am using MacOs Monetery on a Mac Book Pro M1
The SSD drive is Samsung T5 - 1 TB
Connected to a 1G ethernet switch.
Hope that helps!
