Luckily, I backed up the entire drive 12 hours before it crashed. Like Train's reply, it is a weekly routine thing that I do for my drives. I might have lost only a few files and I have a tool (that I wrote) to track all of my files on my drive.

Yes, that is how I have it setup. However, the WD SSD that died was used as a storage drive because it is such an old piece of hardware.

JDC, that article that you provided also used the word “poof!”. Hahaha! It copied me.

Thank You Train and JDC2000!
