[QUOTE="ferrarr, post: 1890945, member: 376394"] I was using 2 EHD as TM backup disks. Lately, one of them has been having issues (the original HDD from my 2014 mini). Previously, when TM would tell me it couldn't backup to that drive, I would go into TM in System Preferences, and select the drive as a backup disk. It worked for about 6 months or so. I could still use DU to run First Aid on the drive and it gave no issues. DriveDx did show 79.1% health for about a year. After the latest update to macOS, DU keeps giving me the failure, so I removed the drive and stopped using it. So now I only have the one TM drive. [/QUOTE]
