I am very pleased you have sorted your issues.
Yes, keeping things neat & organised does help.
A spring clean ( reinstall ) is sometimes a good option.🙂
Hi,
When you are noticing that the file copying is still active [even though it should have stopped], have you tried to eject the drive - via the 'safely remove' option in the Tray?
it will not do so if it cannot end the process, so no damage, but might force action to end and eject.It seems the crisis is resolved. 🙂
It's an internal drive so no option to safely remove it. But as eelgoo mentioned, the crisis is resolved.
I have the same identical drive, seagate 4TB 2cv104. I had the same issue as soon as I started using the disk, but I managed to solve somehow (if I recall by reformatting with 512 kilobyte cluster size)..
the problem with this disk is that it's a SMR one, while most of the disks are PMR (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shingled_magnetic_recording): you can read more online but there's quite a debate about manufacturers selling SMR disks without clearly stating it, because they are less performing when you need to edit and read smaller files..
Also - because of the dimensions of the disk 4Tb on 2.5'' - it has only 5400 RPM; I wouldn't recommend using this disk for software or for daz; I use it for backups and downloads..
