Movie folder keeps going missing!

[aardvark5]

I have a VU+ Uno4K SE and had a faultless operation from it for two years however two weeks ago I discovered that the movie folder had been deleted.
I blamed this on my wife saying you must have clicked on the folder and hit delete.
Through FTP I put the folder back on and the recordings started to go in there again.
Over the last two weeks the movie folder has now gone missing another 3 times and I know it's nothing she's doing.
I've tested the hard drive, initialised it 3 times but it's still happened.

Anybody know what could be going on?

Thanks

Check Mount Manager when it goes missing to make sure your storage is mounted. The HDD could be on its way out.

Thanks for that.
I've already been pricing up HDs.

I assume its an internal HDD?

Yes but I'm thinking of going SSD now anyway.

Also forgot to mention that I couldn't even manually download a transponder so tried a full scan but it wouldn't 'Failed To Scan'.
I decided to put an old backup image on from 2021 and that started to work
