I have a USB-3 drive that I use as a tertiary backup when I travel. Every now and then it goes into Read Only mode and I have to try to figure out all over again what to do in order to make it Read/Write again. The Disks utility... manually mounting and unmounting... etc. etc. Any tips or tricks to keep this from happening?

That has to be a lot of uses. I still have an eight GB drive I put a Linux ISO on every few months since I bought it like ten years ago.

Some of them were just cheaply made and didn't hold up.
