I've been using robocopy (windows command line program) to do my internal storage HDD backups for a couple years now. I've been mirroring the internal storage drive to the usb 'Western Digital My Passport ' 1TB drive.
All of a sudden I noticed this error in the logs:
Afterwards in the log, the retry was a "success." I tried to open the video file on the portable HDD to check it out. It began playing when i opened it, but any time I tried to seek to another point in the video, the video player would crash. This problem does not exist on the source video.
CrystalDiskInfo says all the drives are "Good" health.
How can I determine which hard drives are having issues?
Another post I saw indicated that USB HDDs can't make use of S.M.A.R.T. drive diagnostics and said that those readings would be useless for an external drive. If that is the case, how can I know whether or not my usb hard drive is working correctly?
Thanks in advance.
