For
some time I have been backing up all my music to an 8TB SSD drive,
prior to this all my music was backed up to a pair of 4TB disc
drives, I recently acquired some additional external memory and was
backing up the data as I had realised that if the SSD was lost,
stolen or failed I would lose all the data. half way through the
transfer the SSD drive failed, the drive was still under warranty
eventually after much correspondence has been sent for repair and
will be returned with no data, I think the additional memory caused
the problem so I have not used it since and will probably bin it, as
a stopgap I brought a 20TB HDD drive and was going to buy a 16TB SSD
drive unfortunately for me the SSD drive was out of stock.
I
have a new connecting cable for the original drive on order and will
transfer the data to the new back up memory, when I was doing the
original transfer their was too much data to transfer in one go I was
transferring it in blocks and was thinking shall I delete the block
once I had transferd it luckily I decided not to delete once
transferd.
