We are digital librarians. Among us are represented the various reasons to keep data -- legal requirements, competitive requirements, uncertainty of permanence of cloud services, distaste for transmitting your data externally (e.g. government or corporate espionage), cultural and familial archivists, internet collapse preppers, and people who do it themselves so they're sure it's done right. Everyone has their reasons for curating the data they have decided to keep (either forever or For A Damn Long Time (tm) ). Along the way we have sought out like-minded individuals to exchange strategies, war stories, and cautionary tales of failures.

I need an External SSD Other than Extreme or T7 Shield (alien.top)

I have an extreme Pro 2TB but terrified of data loss so recently got a T7 shield and using it on my MacbookPro. This is the 2nd attempt and the drive just got corrupted because while transferring files, Finder crashed/lagged and i had to force shut it down. And then, I wasn't able to eject the T7 Shield so i had to force eject and then it wiped the T7 after having just transferred. To be clear i was in proceess transfering from Extreme to T7

Does anyone have any other recommendations? I am done with the T7 and wasting time trying to get it to work without losing data

Ideally don't take a Sandisk, but really anything else.
