Thanks for the reply, looks like you are correct. I ran a SMART test (attached). Looking at the report it says "Error 161 [0] occurred at disk power-on lifetime: 36091 hours (1503 days + 19 hours)" .... this drive was purchased new by me in December 2020, how could it have so many hours on it, any ideas?
