I understand the deep concern regarding data loss and the potential issues causing it. Below are some event entries from the 'Event Viewer' that highlight the problem:

The event viewer entries are indicating data loss for both files actively being written to and files already stored but not actively being modified. The issue seems to be related to two USB-connected HDDs (an 8TB Seagate SkyHawk under constant writing and an 8TB WD Red (NAS) for storage).
To isolate the problem, you may need to investigate the hardware components, including the Motherboard, USB connections, and Sabrent Docking Stations. Since the issues persist across different OEM HDDs, it might not be a drive-specific problem. Given the stability of the current OS installation, updating only if necessary and supported by documentation may be prudent.
Unfortunately, without spare parts for troubleshooting, it might be challenging to pinpoint the exact cause of the data loss issues. If possible, seeking professional technical assistance could help in diagnosing and resolving the underlying problem.
