I've had a Seagate HDD (4TB) for a couple of years. It is formatted ExFAT due to the fact that sometimes I need cross compatibility with Windows. I take a lot of large format photos and don't have a solution outside of external hard drives for the time being. All said, we're looking at multiple folders around 2TBs total.
I've noticed that sometimes it becomes disconnected randomly and I've read that there is powering issues with the USB-C port. That was enough to push me into and external SSD. I'm attempting to copy the files over (both drives are formatted ExFAT) and I get the dreaded "Cannot completed the file transfer Error 36" message. From what is sounds like, there may be a few files corrupted and bc of that, the Mac just says no dice and won't offer the option to skip the file so I can copy the rest over. Tried to dot_clean with no luck. Started down the rabbit hole trouble shooting dot_clean and I gave up. I've resorted to copying in windows with both drives and I'm not having any issues outside of the random "can't find this file" message which I have the option to skip.
This seems strange that I can't do a simple copy over yet Windows can (it pains me to say that as I refuse to give Windows any credit whatsoever, it's screwed me so many times i can't even count). Anyone experience this and/or have a fix? My google efforts have yielded nothing outside of dot_clean.
