I have a 4TB HGST drive from 2014 that is using about 2.29TB. I use it by plugging it into an external dock to use with Lightroom on my Mac. All of my photos and videos are stored on it and my last backup was about 2 months ago...
It just started making a strange buzzing sound. I ejected the drive and took it out. I am now concerned that it might be failing?
I want to plug it back in, though when I do, I want to be prepared to do a complete backup of the drive to another blank drive. Does anyone have any advice or suggestions for how I should approach this to minimize any chances of damage to the drive?
Thanks.
