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?

I'm going to buy a new drive. I reformatted it and am running a new backup for now. That puts the data on this drive (albeit for who knows how long) and my NAS. That should be good to tide me over if anything happens while I'm traveling later this week.
