Issues with external SSD after installing Ventura
My G-Technology G-Drive ev Raw SSD has been having issues since upgrading to macOS Ventura 13.2. Spinning beach ball requiring me to force quit the Finder. Very slow read/write speeds at times. Sometimes issue mounting and unmounting the drive.
My external drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended Journaled and I never had any issues on Big Sur or previous operating systems.
I ran Disk Utilities First Aid but it failed because it said the volume could not be unmounted.
Any suggestions? Should I try to copy the contents to another computer and reformat the drive as APFS instead?
