WD HDD spin down or stop working while transferring data

[Dr. Dro]

So this kind of speed is okay? i shouldn't be worried?

Yeah, no need to worry. That drive is very slow, and you're chucking large video files on it. SMR drives have serious tendency to slow down when there's any fragmentation at all, and will get below even 1 MB/s in some situations, They're horrible for anything other than just cold storage, which is what your drive is intended for. Not really something you'll want to stream video from.

Try with just the WD and see if the problem persists.

I hated that connector so much, I made sure to get a case with a C connector
