That is a good reason to use a version control system. Once you have
one, you will wonder how you ever got by without it.
ATM I have rsync in its 7nth attempt to make a copy of the nominally
350G in /home, and its now working again, very slowly with a
--bwlimit=5m.
350 G / 5 M/s * 1000 M/G = 70000 s, or about 19 hours.
IOW these taiwanese gigastone 2T SSD drives cannot handle
data in big gulps. the copy locked me up and needed the reset button
twice already this morning at 20m and 10m, so now trying 5m. These
drives, if 5m allows it to complete, will get a damning review on amazon
if only 5m allows it to work. U-sd cards are faster than that.
I think your computer has numerous issues, including storage. Unless
and until you benchmark the Gigastone SSD's in a stripped-down machine
with a reference OS and tool set, I would not blame the Gigastone SSD's.
