My GF’s drive has been acting finicky over the past couple of days - from restarts to crashes to corrupt images and files. And while thankfully nothing super important has been lost, it sucks that a fair number of images are cut in half or look like this:

So what’s going on? IS it failing? I’d like to back everything up ASAP but am worried a lot of it wont transfer or will get further lost in the process. Is there are reversing of the damage at all?

    9. r/techsupport exists.

    r/Datahoarder is not a sub for tech support,

    r/techsupport is for posts which could have been a google search, e.g. a post with CrystalDiskInfo screenshots with the title “is my drive ok?”. Literally every question about SMART status. A**udio recordings of “is this click noise normal?” More technical questions are allowed, e.g. “what is the optimal ZFS configuration of a 24 disk array” or “how else can i automate the archiving of this [thing]”
