Never trust an HDD drive to store important stuff. Maybe it's okay for backup only or redundancy with 2 hard drives or more
An SSD on the other hand, usually when it's dying, it turns to read-only mode to preserve data (not always though)
I learnt that the hard way too :cry:
The kicker is, it was an SSD. SATA, but still...
I did some heavy workload in it, maybe that's why? I'm not a very techy guy.
I initially bought it as storage for HS2 and all other work stuff, but it got crowded. I bought NVME for the HS2 drive and kept the Unity and DAZ works in that dead drive. Did I stress it out too much...?

Please tell me it's not a Samsung SATA SSD. I'm planning to do the same in the future since TB-sized NVMEs are hella expensive from where I'm from.

Im sorry that happened to you, The only SSD that died on me was an Nvme, for the future, you can always use software like HDSentinel if you cant buy it you can use a cracked version; with it you can know the health of your drives and predict future failures it's very easy to use
