   I run a dual boot Ubuntu 22.04/ Win 10 system, selectable at boot up in   
   Grub.  However, recently I am experiencing a mystery problem.  I   
   recently downloaded a 25 GB archive of a former forum I belonged to.   
   The first thing needing done is unzipping the archive after download,   
   but that's not the problem.  While I can download the archive onto one   
   of my external 500 MB USB hard drives, and unzip it, if I then try and   
   transfer this to one of my 4 TB "master" hard drives, my entire system   
   will freeze at some point requiring reboot.   
      
   Other than the hard drives within my system, all of my external USB hard   
   drives are NOT SSD (HDDs), and are 2.5" size.  I seem to be able to   
   transfer the 25 GB archive from one of the smaller USB drives to another   
   (1TB or less in size), but the trouble starts when trying to use the   
   larger 4 TB masters.   
      
   The freezing happened three times and I had to use Win 10 to repair the   
   drives (easier for me to just boot into Win and do the repairs).  For   
   now, I'm going to store the three archive back up copies on my smaller 1   
   TB or less USB drives, but still wondering why my system is freezing   
   while using the 4 TB drives and this large archive.  In all other   
   respects, the 4 TB drives have given no problems over the years.  None   
   of the drive need external power and are USB 2/3.   
      
   Thank you.
