I have a brand new WD Red 4TB external HDD. I use this as a backup for my windows.
It is externally powered.
I used multiple of USB3.0 cables to test it out.
At least once a week I'll get external HDD getting corrupted/locked with the following message:
You don't currently have permission to access this foler.
Click Continue to permanently get access to this folder.
I replaced the HDD with a WD Black 2TB drive to test... a week later the same issue.
I keep losing my backups!
My PC has also an internal WD Black 2TB HDD with no issues whatsoever. This only happens to my external device.
Processor 11th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i9-11900KF @ 3.50GHz 3.50 GHz
Installed RAM 32.0 GB (31.9 GB usable)
System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor
