[QUOTE="Lifeisabeach, post: 1406823, member: 38864"] These Seagate GoFlex drives are awful. I have one and had some really bizarre file errors and files go "missing" also. Most likely you need to rebuild the volume. DiskWarrior is probably the best at this. TechTool Pro has a similar tool, and otherwise is a great utility. Neither are cheap though. EDIT: you can also use TTP to do a full surface scan to be sure the drive isn't failing. One of the very weird things I had with my GoFlex drive is that it failed the surface scan, but after rebuilding the volume structure, it passed. Ever since, it hasn't given me any problems. [/QUOTE]
