...tweaks and twists I picked up here on mobileread to use on calibre and then have my ebook titles in the right order within kindle collections.
Anyway this is definitely something I can live with, even more so if the alternative could have been to have no library whatsoever  |
Have you checked the integrity of the Drive?Files do not always get written in contiguous blocks. A drive fault could damage that chain.
Is the drive self powered (from USB Only)? Your port might have marginal power. IMHO External powered (removable) drives are better. But... power bricks can also go bad (trashy power).
Can you pop the drive into a desktop system as a secondary/non-boot drive?
