Purchased this to backup 2x 2TB Samsung shields (both about 1.4TB on each). Amazon purchase. Started playing up after day 2. I am a cautious cat, so I stopped using it & finished backing up those 2x 2tb on another WD4tb (instead of the Samsung shield) out of an abundance of caution….

Lo & behold, went back to the Samsung T7 4TB Shield today to complete my original backup plan and it’s failed.

Disk repair won’t work, Exit Code 8. Now a warning from my mac “Back up the disk and reformat it as soon as you can”.

Should I bother reformatting it, or just send it back & get another one? Is the T7 Shield 4TB known for having issues?
