Cannot save because of a disk error

Question

I have never had this problem before- I am working on an image and when I tried to save it to my external hard drive it said "could not save as because of a disk error". the hard drive has 2/3 memory left, but the message isn't about memory. I have since saved to desktop and quit and reopened the application but I get the same message when I try to save to the disk.

I have also browsed the Adobe support forums and seen other people answer this question with going to settings and granting photoshop Full Disk Access permissions. However, I have already done this. Notably permissions only go to Photoshop Beta, although I have both installed on my computer. However I get this error message regardless of which version of photoshop I use to save the image.

Any suggestions? pictures included.

So just following up, I was able to figure it out- the hard drive was formatted in fat-32, and the file was a large image file for work that had just surpassed 4gb.

It could be that your hard drive has a fault. Do you have check this.However, I don't know if and if yes, which tools are included in MacOS. I'm a Windows user.
