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?

No not SanDisk. It's a drive brand I never heard of. I got it as swag from work.

just bought one yesterday labeled "memorex". Haven't seen or heard of that brand in forty years.

Is it live, or is it Memorex?
