Hi @Brice_Lang ---- I hope the holiday season has been good to you and your loved ones. All the best in 2018!
Moving forward, based on your most recent observations with the DB being hosted on the previous device (i.e the MacBook Pro) I would say that this does appear to be some kind of hardware issue with the NUC. Before proceeding forward, I have placed a feedback request with our tech team just to be 100% certain that there are no other variables here for us to explore before we begin to looking into replacing the NUC (SSD, memory card, etc). As soon as I hear back from the team I will be sure to follow up with you immediately.
