[QUOTE="hughvane, post: 778783, member: 56231"] Is the USB drive bus-powered or mains-powered? If the former, you may be experiencing lack of power to the drive, thereby causing data transfer to freeze. Laptop Macs just don't deliver enough USB power to high demand devices. The solution is a mains or battery-powered USB2 hub, preferably one with one or two high power (1000 mA) ports. [/QUOTE]
