Currently in the process of copying 1,4 TB of Media files off a failing Hard drive on to a temporary external drive.

It takes a while, since every so often the failing drive becomes unreachable until I reboot the server.

/Sigh@Strit (if your server runs Linux or BSD) you might one to consider software RAID for your next build.
This will be resilient to one of them failing.
Plus, combining multiple smaller sized drivers (e.g 6x 2TB drives in RAID-6 for 8TB of storage) will let you circumvent the current "no more server-grade HDD left on the market for 2026" problem I mentionned before.
(disclaimer: I litteraly running that in mine)

@dryak Good idea. My server only has 2 drive Bays though. One of them is used for docker persistent volumes and the other is the media drive.
Not sure how much benefit a 2 drive raid is.
