• I think one of my hard drives is failing. Took about a minute to mount and trying to look through the files on finder takes about 20s to load per folder. Never had a hard drive fail on me before so wondering what I should do? Going to try and do a backup now the probably try restoring it.

  • External hard drive? Back up and bin it. They are so cheap these days and I wouldn't trust it again even after a restore and it might work for a little while, you never know when it will eventually die.

    I warmed a friend about her hard drive dying, she wouldn't listen, a couple of weeks later, she sent me a test on Sunday morning telling me she'd lost a lot of her files. I LOL.

  • Yep... CCC is telling me that there are read errors :-( Just checked and haven't backed it up in a year.....
    I am so so so stupid
    Trying to get back the important bits but the drive ejects itself after about 10mins. Should just about recover from this but it's a real reminder for me to get my shit safe
