Hi,

You can't 13GB data to 1GB SSD. I assume it's not 1GB, however 1TB SSD.

I think some of your folder data may be corrupt, so you should don't move folder as a whole at ones, however you should move datas one or ten by one or ten.

Thanks for the response, really appreciate it

yeah, my bad, its 1 TB and absolutely true, it works when I move file by file, but it takes a day to move everything, cause its a folder with folders with other folders and so on, smth I structured a long time. What would mean corrupt, can I find and fix the files and then try again?
