Hi guys,
I’m running RBPi 4 Model B - 4GB RAM with Kingston XS2000 Portable SSD 1TB and I do really have big issues with and I’m unable to finish sync. It’s always ends with somehow corrupted data and I was already kill one of SD card, when I found out, it’s actually do have issues with reading.
At first, I thought it was somehow just bad even before but not really noticed, however I’ve hit same shit again with new as well.
It’s always ends with corrupted data, last one error is this one:

it’s just always similar scneario - corrupted data somehow on different places. Ten I do run --reindex and after a week of sync same shit hit the fan. I’ve already spent more then 6 weeks trying to sync and it just failed every time. I thought I may get bad SSD, so I’ve tried to run badblocks and fsck and looks that SSD passed fine, where SD card not. So it looks, that SSD works just fine, SD was replaced by one, that passed too, but still, unable to do sync. It’s really annoying.
As it’s USB drive, it’s quite problem to use S.M.A.R.T diagnose as it’s not well supported USB drive, just using native BUS for disk either IDE, SATA seems and I was not able to get any SMART stats.
Is there some way of fixing chain without complete reindex or figure out, where the hell problem could be?
