[QUOTE="IWT, post: 1880430, member: 83420"] No worries there. When a Drive is "scrubbed", ie totally erased, there is nothing left. It is then formatted APFS and to all intents and purposes, it's like brand new. So when you start to put data on it via Time Machine, there will not be any "bits missing". Intermittent faults are an agony to deal with - as you have found out :). My worry in your situation would be trusting the Drive. In other words, I'd be concerned that it was faulty in some way. That can happen with Drives straight out of the box. Is there any way you could return that Drive and get a replacement? Ian [/QUOTE]
