[QUOTE="massalt, post: 1905789, member: 410995"] Well the first one is the backup drive. The second one holds my iTunes files and is backed up to the first drive. I just checked the backed up files and they seem fine. They are also legitimately purchased files that I could download again from iTunes, so I have no real data at risk here on either drive. I just disabled Time Machine and got the same error message. I spent a previous life in large scale corporate data storage and retrieval, doing everything from design to implementation, training and support. Back in the olden days, a lot of data was lost to internal drive failures, primarily related to heat, and I became accustomed to storing all of my files on external drives. In all these years, I have never seen a failure of an external seagate drive. So now I have two of them, less than two years old, both of which worked flawlessly on my 2015 iMac, but no workee with my new Mi1 iMac? Drives are not expensive, I could just buy new ones, but I'm not very confident they would work any better? I guess, next, I could unplug them and try them in my M1 Air, or haul them to work and try them on my last intel iMac, but I don't see how that might help solve my problem? Is there anyone out there succesfully running USB drives on an M1 iMac? Tap, tap, is this thing on? [/QUOTE]
