Hello guys!
Ok, so I am backing up DATA from my old HDD to my new HDD (external 26TB for backup)
Everything seemed fine, but when I took the external HDD to another computer, all data I backed up was WIPED. :)
I was able to recover some from using chkdsk x: /f command
Problems I did (my fault for sure):
-
I put a fan in the same surge protector near the hard drive and it disconnected the hard drive (I think this is what caused the files to be wiped afterwards)
-
I tipped over the hard drive like a tard. Although, this didn't seem to cause issues somehow.
-
I moved the hard drive's position while it was transferring files just playing/fidgeting with it like an idiot.
-
Fan speed may have been too high blowing air on the hard drive causing vibrations PERHAPS (or fan was placed too close).
I think #1 is the main issue, because I just plugged the fan back in the same outlet (like a tard)
Ok, so:
What I want to know is:
What can I do that this doesn't happen again.
It could be so many things.
The hard drive that I'm transferring from is also failing (yellow condition in Crystal Info) hence the backup, which I didn't do properly because I did cut+paste (like a moron).
Any help or advice for me?
Thank you!!!
