Can anyone help,
I am thinking possible coincidence but thought I'd check.

I updated to the latest Mojave yesterday, all went fine.
I have been running Mojave with no problems.

Today, 2 hard drives failed. Both different brand and type (One portable buffalo brand) (one desktop seagate)

The seagate is a 5TB holding my master LR images, I have a back up but it is offsite.

Neither are reparable in disk utility, I don't own disk warrior.
I tried fsck in terminal after following some similar threads but this did not help.

My 5TB LR Master - mounts, tells me it is not repairable cannot read or write, and to back up, then shows as 5TB free, when I open it it shows my image folder showing 2.7tb.

I can't work out why I can still operate in LIGHTROOM, open images and export to the desktop

Currently CCCloning the Image folder on the 5TB over to a new drive.

Any chance of fixing the 5TB?
I just erased the portable and that has remounted.
