But turns out that even after formatting my disk still experience problems and I conclude it's because the drive is now old. I've had it since 2013, I think? It's natural for externals to eventually break.

The 'existential crisis' part is that I have 4 externals (5 if I count the one I use on PS4) and now considering that all of them have a lifespan, I am now panicking since I need to be able to afford and replace them should they die. And not just that but eventually the SSDs on my PC will about to die in the future so I need to replace them. Ughhhhh.

Also yes, I know I'm a filthy pirate.

As someone with a large external hard drive full of content that would be very difficult to reprocure thanks to a litigious Japanese production studio, let me recommend Backblaze as a very cost-effective backup solution.

I've used it for a few years, and there's no upper-limit on what you can store there. If/when a local drive fails, they can ship you out an external drive with all of that archived content on it.

Worth taking a look at, if you're scared of losing files.
