hi,

Well, it's very hard to say if it's the drive because, i ONLY use this ssd for crypto really, i have nothing else on it and it's also a very good Samsung T7 SSD with built in encryption etc (which i am not using though).

Now, yes this happened many times now and i am quite clueless on why, I have never lost data on this HDD on other occasions. I am not mining at the moment but was helping the network with open port, etc. I have 2 others privacy coins and one of those also experienced same thing, reindex then now fine, the other one instead never had this issue,

I am gonna live with this, not ideal and again, the reason i am having this on external SSD is that i wanted a drive that does not stay on continuously like my "main" normal SSD where i do other stuff and my work, etc. As we all know these drives have an X lifespan and if they're on 24/7 that will get shortened every day.

Still, that's way bizarre so i am gonna send Samsung a message, maybe they can help or maybe this type of SSD is not suitable for crypto in general, hence the errors.

thanks for ideas and feedback anyway
