hixsoniaI’ve been at this for about 2 hours now. Reformatted my UGreen 1TB SSD as it will be the “Just Drums” disk. Moving my SP3 library kept causing the disk to eject. So, started moving things over a few files at a time. After many more disk ejections, I started moving files one at a time. All Sound files have been moved but 2 are forcing the disk to eject again. Also tried putting them in a ZipIt file… no go. Tried an SD card… no good either. SD3 won’t recognize the library at all without those 2 files.
soundb12.obw
and
soundb27.obw
are the culprits.
Anybody have an idea of how this is happening? Most of all, how to fix it.
Thanks,
Jeff

hixsoniaDid not try another cable but after transferring about 220GB of other files and these being the only 2 that cause a problem, I’d be hard pressed to blame the cable. If it were the cable I think I’d get more random files creating the same problem.
hixsoniaHi Jack,
Reformatted in ExFat just to try something other than APFS (didn’t help obviously). I don’t really need to index the drive as all the files are being called from there respective hosts, i.e.; BFD3. EZDrummer 3, SD3, etc. so no need to do Spotlight searches on it.
Yes first install was fine but moving all drum samples to a new drive for future expansions (I have a shit-load of photos and my music library on the drive that I’m moving from and need more space).
I agree with Jordan as well, just happened to be 2 files that were in my SD3 Sounds folder. There is no blame from me on SD3, as I said in a prior response, I just wish Toontrack aloud me to download specific, named kits instead of the whole library. If I knew what kits those 2 files belong to, it would make all this go away.
Thank for chiming in!!

hixsoniaI believe most people consider Crucial to be a viable drive company… lots of very satisfied customers. If I could afford faster, I’d have gotten it.

Toontrack does what it does with the files as blocks of data as part of anti-theft process. Same reason NI does with Kontakt, EW with Play/Opus libraries. I’m sure there are other reasons for doing what they’re doing. All this talk about downloading and replacing the files is just like taking Advil to help with the pain of a broken leg. It’s only masking the real issue of the broken leg. What I’m getting at is it happened once and will more likely than not happen again. If you didn’t take proper anti-static precautions when installing the drive in the enclosure something could have gotten zapped. You might not even feel or have felt the zap but it can happen. What I still don’t understand is what was/is causing the drives to eject? Could be hardware (intermittents are a pain to find) or could even be malware. Or even power if that UGreen is bus powered.
As far as fast drives they’re not that expensive. I know Crucial used to be good back in the day. Personally I use Samsung SSD’s for main storage and Western Digital Black for all my long term backup storage. All fed with good clean power. The actual drive – is it a bog standard SSD or NVME type?

Thanked by: hixsoniahixsoniaThank you to all that stepped in to help… Problem Resolved!
I had the Crucial drive plugged into the front of my Mac mini… USB3.
Plugged into one of the back Thunderbolt ports and all is working as it should.
After chatting with Crucial support, they suggested a powered hub. That’s when it dawned on me… Thunderbolt carries more power, did the switch and all is well in the land of Hixsonia@
Thanks again to everyone who chimed in to help!!!
