My 2020 iMac has around 50,000 photos in my "photos" library. They are on a $TB Western Digital drive and also a backup 4TB WD drive. I have uploaded around 1000 photos in the last 3 weeks, usually 200 or 300 at a time. 3 times now it has lost all my new photos. I was able to reload them from the SD card twice, but today my card was almost full so after uploading , I formatted the card in my camera. A couple hours later I shut down the iMac. Now on startup all my photos from the last 3 weeks are gone. These are all jpegs and videos. Fortunately I have RAW's stored in my Lightroom library and these were unaffected. What could be causing this to happen?
