It is not well understood outside of low level dev circles just haw many ways errors afflict computers
Filesystems get corrupted, and can be recovered due to error correction and structure backups.
When your disk says 1tb, in fact it's probably 1.2tb with a 5:1 ration reed soloman forward error correction
When your USB says 20gbit, it's probably 22gbit with RS FEC at 10:1
The PCI Express protocol probably also is similar, and in addition like networks, includes a resend protocol
Shit happens, and the technocrats pretend the machines are better than humans
They aren't. And things are a bit shitty. If you didn't prepare for that, you will get burned, like I am right now.
I probably will recover but it's not in the bag until it's in the bag.
