External Hard Drive Issue

just wondering if anyone else has problems storing large amounts of video data (mostly .mp4s) on their external hard drive. I have went through 3 in last 2 months and every time it becomes corrupted. i move about 50 video files onto and it works fine. i can play videos off the drive no problem. i get to around 300 and something happens. no longer can play videos without skipping and takes much longer for drive to process and play movies. this happened once and i reformatted and went at it again and same thing. next i bought a new external and added a bunch of mp4s and same thing... corrupt. i bought a really good one this last time and just today it starts to move really slow and cannot play the videos without lots of giitches and pausing. Any help would be appreciated. no idea why i cant just store mp4s on a external without all these issues.

Turn off thumbnails will help. I am sure. Just an idea. Disable virus scan from scanning that drive too.

thanks i turned off thumbnails and disable the antivirus but i get same results.  I guess i might delete 50 or so and see if it starts acting normal again. mine isnt a solid state.  its really been giving me headaches.  i just want to free up some space on my hard drive in my pc but everytime i move stuff over to the external and delete it off my main this problem happens. thne i have to start over.
