Disk Not Ejected properly 3 Seagate failures in Time Machine

Using two Seagate external drives (2TB and 5TB partitioned) in a 7 port hub, with USB to USB3 adapter to M3Pro. OS current. Drives alternate for Time Machine. One drive gave "Disk Not Ejected properly" and went to READ ONLY. Two prior drives just failed, unrecoverable.


Sure wish Time Machine could backup to iCloud Drive.

MacBook Pro 14″, macOS 15.2

Thank you. It is a powered hub, via Amazon https://a.co/d/c4QfXiq Powered USB Hub 3.0, Atolla 7-Port USB Data Hub Splitter with One Smart Charging Port and Individual On/Off Switches and 5V/4A Power Adapter USB Extension for MacBook, Mac Pro/Mini 



All 3 of the failed drives had been used on a previous MacOS and last Mac. The connection had been thru the hub, or at times thru individual direct USB connections to machine.


I'm changing to Samsung SSDs.


Thanks again Tesserax
