Of course, every drive seems quite healthy and reliable until the day it fails. Drive A seems quite healthy and reliable. I have been booting off Drive A and using it daily since then with no issues at all. So good news is that I got all the bits I needed, and I got those copied to Drive A. Nothing lost that I cared about, and apparently nothing needed for anything I use (until the day I want to play songs using a Central European language UI). There were a handful of files that could not be copied (read failures, IIRC) but nothing important (localized iTunes music files in languages I'll never use, and just a few other non-critical user data files). I was able to boot off another drive, and at the time I reformatted Drive A (wasn't using it for much), and then used Carbon Copy Cloner to clone the contents of (damaged) Drive B to (freshly formatted) Drive A. One day, it crashed hard, then would no longer boot. I'll refer to the two internal drives as A and B.Ī while back (several months ago), I was routinely booting off of Drive B. This machine has multiple internal 1 TB drives (as well as several external FW drives). I have an old MacPro (MacPro4.1 cheese grater) running Snow Leopard 10.6.8.
