Macrium Reflect v8.1.8325 - Backup sometimes aborts but only during the verifying stage?

Yet again I am unable to copy and paste my question text from Word into here so I will have to post pictures instead: -

I forgot to add that if I use a USB-C to USB-A cable in another port then it doesn't happen.

In order to eliminate the USB-C to USB-C cable as the culprit I have a new cable arriving today and I'll try that. If that is the same then maybe it could be the USB-C ports in HP PC or external SSD but this doesn't explain why it only happens after creating the image at the verifying stage.

There have been no replies yet so maybe I have posted it in the wrong forum. I will post a link in the Apps & Software forum to see if it elicits replies.

To eliminate the caddy and its internal SATA/external USB-C connection: -

1. I have ordered a new external USB-C SSD to allow direct USB-C to USB-C connection.
2. If the problem remains unsolved then it only leaves the USB-C port on the HP computer.
