[QUOTE="RadDave, post: 1638542, member: 234411"] Hi [B]Josh[/B] - first, I'm assuming that your are transferring files between external HDs (EHD) - correct? Second, my comments will be based on that assumption - with the external HDs attached you can generate a 'System Report' (Apple -> About This Mac -> System Report) which will show the S.M.A.R.T. status on your drives; however, external HDs (at least the multiple ones that I own do not support this feature) - see the first image below - I've connected one of my TM backup external HDs to my MBPro and selected that drive in the report - noticed the arrow. Also, opening 'Disk Utility' (DU) w/ the same EHD attached and running 'Verify Disk' (second image, blue arrow) shows the drive to be OK; if not, other options would be available. So as already recommended use DU to check your external drives first - if a 'repair' option is offered, then followed the directions - if of no help, then post back to this thread. Dave :) .
