[QUOTE="Chaver4u, post: 1859612, member: 404830"] I used Migration Assistant to transfer everything from my 2015 MBP to my 2020 MBA. Both had the same MacOS 10.15.6. Everything worked perfectly on my MBA. I cleaned up the MBP and started using the MBA. A week later when I needed some old data from my Samsung T3 SSD, I connected to the MBA.....and the problems started. I got a warning after connecting that it's disconnected. I checked in DiskUtility how that's possible and saw that it only setup apps were on the T3 SSD. Strange, I never touched it, let alone deleted anything. By now I started to see one of the recovery apps could find the missing more than 150GB data on the T3. I tried: [LIST=1] [*]Stellar [*]iBoysoft [*]Data Rescue [*]Pandora Recovery [*]DiskDrill [*]RStudio [/LIST] They all came up with the same results as what DiskUtility shows: 31.3MB with T3 setup Mac.app and Win.exe, which is the same as shown in the window of the T3 external drive on my MBA. >> Only Stellar found in a deep scan that there are 506 files with 61 folders of onbly 105MB total, but these files are garbled txt files. So not the 150GB I assume (and hope) that that 150GB or more data are still somewhere on that T3. I don't think it can auto-delete, can it? But how to get to that? 'Desperate' Robert [/QUOTE]
