Hi, I'm facing a very weird issue. I will appreciate it if you try and let me know.
I have a virtual machine on a external HDD made by VMWare Workstation with 200GB space.
When i mount the disk using ImDisk and try to copy a game into it which has 40GB of size, in middle of copying speed drops to 0 and entire PC freeze and become functional. The only way to fix it is to emergency remove mounted image, Unplug External HDD from computer, Restart PC. if I don't do that it freeze forever.
I move the virtual machine to my internal HDD and tried the same thing and it copied data with no problem.
Is there any known issues with External HDDs or my drive is dying?
I use the drive daily I feel it became slower but it doesn't hang or freeze pc.
