X1 Search 8 is long out of beta. Which version do you actually have?

I keep most of my .psts on a 64gb microsd inside a memory stick container - always inserted.

What on earth makes you use that wonky scenario? A USB memory stick is asking for trouble. Windows enjoys losing them. Is there any reason why you don't use an internal drive?

For some reason, X1 periodically misses the pst files and the index will go from over 1 million records down to 10k or whatever the number is in pst files it sees... so then I have to re-index the entire thing which takes all night.

See above.

I have 30GB of PSTs in 10 files and don't see any problems.

But I do run a slightly eccentric setup. I attach most of my PSTs to a secondary Mail Profile that has no related mail accounts.
