Not to worry you have a backup and are not a windows faggot. Right? Right!
Looks like you got an STD...
A system-wide targeted disaster?
Corruption can come from a failing SSD/HDD.
The SMART status has become a complete waste of data that you can’t trust anymore. I’ve got a Crucial SSD that I’ve been using as a hot weekly backup. That mofo has been silently corrupting video/audio/archive files. The reason I realized it is because some projects I needed to resume/restore data from a previous backup started showing frame glitches, stuttering in audio tracks and errors while trying to open archives.
SMART status reported that SSD as healthy without a single error.
I did some test copying different files into multiple external devices, and issues were only happening with that SSD.
SMART status is supposed to warn you before a storage device is about to fail.
Never trust it and use redundant backup solutions if your data is important.
I have never in my two decades of screwing with these cursed machine found SMART data that indicated a problem and facilitated a solution. Nope, the drive just dies, and it doesn't want to talk about it.
Have you tried asking AI to fix it?
It's angry at you...
It has no business being angry with me. Computers check under their bed for me at night. Usually I just have to look at it, and the problem suddenly resolved itself. Chuck Norris even once asked me to fix his computer, and I only had to stare it down.
