External SSD freezes while rescuing or transfering data
I recently bought a new external SSD because my current (SAMSUNG 870 EVO 2TB) seems buggy.
I wanted to transfer the Files (Music only / 1,5TB) to to new one but it always starts to freeze after a couple of minutes. started to transfer small amounts like 2,3 GB but still freezes then. like i said it's only music files. mainly mp3 and aiff's. also can't unmount the old external SSD. Tried in Safe mode but same error.
Apple says making a Image is not recommended when the SSD could a potential bug which it probably does.
strange enough i can play all files seamlessly trough my itunes (music app) i really want to transfer everything before it's too late, music is my life and my life is on that SSD... took me 16 Years to build this music collection.
I already tried to transfer the files while using another new iMac - same problem.
I already tried to "repair disk" in disk utility in safe mode. not sure whats the difference in recovery mode.
than the following message appears: unable to unmount volume for repair -69673
my specs :
MacBook Pro (13-inch, M1, 2020) 8GB / 251GB Storage
all my other external harddrives and inetrnal are fine without problems.
any help is HIGHLY appreciated. thanks in advance..
