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.
