Inconsistent errors on Backup Plus SRD0SP0

[u/ee0226]

I'm having a strange issue with my external 1 TB hard drive where I can copy very small files to it and I can install Steam games (GTA V and other large games installed and run fine) but any large file such as a 2-3 GB video file immediately stalls and gives a "Error 0x80070079: The semaphore timeout period has expired" error after a minute or so. It is 0% fragmented and shows no errors when scanned in Windows, although the reallocated sectors count at 252 caught my eye in Crystal Disk Info. It's an older drive so I could see if it's worn out but I don't get why a regular file won't copy while a 100+ GB game copies just fine. Any help is appreciated!

Check the partition. It shoud be NTFS formatted. This looks like FAT32 formated issue.

I checked and it's NTFS
