So maybe the best thing is just what I'm doing, save a bunch of USB drives and SD cards in multiple places. Or are they? I don't use any cloud/internet places to save anything, that seems real stupid to do, you're trusting people you don't know and will never meet. Now it seems that USB drives aren't all that safe. DVD's seem flakey as the surface is open to scratches like an old LP record. Now I'm wondering if I'm using the right format. These USB drives are to back up my artwork. but the other ones lasted 3 or so years so my main concern is more: Yes, the drives are probably bad, or at least have corrupt files that have made them shut down to save what's already there.Īs far as First Aid, when I use that on my Mac Mini running Yosemite the only option available is "verify disk", the other options for permissions and to repair the disk aren't even greyed out, they're just a black space.Ībout a week ago I bought a new 32GB San Disk USB drive and right out of the box formatted it to Mac Extended and we'll see how that goes.
