[QUOTE="ChangeAgent, post: 1950848, member: 399086"] Hi Folks, I am sorry it is confusing probably my wrong. I give it another go. MBP in a hard-wired network (all Cat 6 or above). Fixed IP. Mac mini is in the same network. Fixed IP. Hard-wired. All other things in the network have fixed IP’. Hard-wired. Mac mini has 2 separate 1TB SSD’ attached to it, disk 1 and disk 2. Both disks are USB powered. Each uses its own port in the Mac mini, USB C. Those disks are exclusively used for Time Machine backing up the MBP. No hubs are involved. From time to time my MBP reports that one of the disks is not properly ejected. This is always the same disk (disk 1) and never the other disk (disk 2). This seems to be damaging the disk, as I can no longer access it with Time Machine and must erase it and start again. Am I clear now? I hope so. [/QUOTE]
