It does seem that way. None of the files are critical enough to warrant spending on a professional.

Docs are synced with OneDrive, and photos, I probably have copies elsewhere. Real loss will be the audiobooks I’ve collected over the years.

Thanks. I’m using HDDSuperClone. Took about an hour to clone 0.15%. I am not hopeful at all the HDD will survive this process haha.

I want to be able to leave it on overnight but I keep getting “skip resets” that stops the process and requires a manual restart.

drive is only 3Tb. They’re mostly photos, audiobooks, and docs. I’d say file size can range from a few MBs to as big as maybe 500Mb.
