Anyone else have a similar experience with one of these drives?

    Chances are your decade old USB sticks didn’t go through as much read/write operations as those 3tb ssds

      Maybe not. I don’t mean sticks though, I mean full size mechanical external drives. Not even solid state. On my 3TB, I’ve probably done about 10TB of writes (video backup, transfers, etc)
