Adobe Illustrator unknown format and cannot be opened
Why is this being more frequent with my files that JUST opened 2 minutes ago?!
How can we trust that our logos and client work isn't gonna be lost because of this?
This is ridiculous!

I save it on an external. Have for years with no problem.
There's other graphic files, photos, etc.
It's illustrator files, .psd, .jpg, etc.
External drives can be a general issue AND this is clearly documented: https://helpx.adobe.com/be_en/illustrator/kb/illustrator-support-networks-removable-media.html
That said: Have you tried first copying the files to your internal disk and then opening it in Illustrator.
Also: in the Preferences > File handling it's a good idea to turn off "Save in background". It has a tendency to make saving worse.
