External Disk not properly responding in gnome files gui, only in terminal





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;

I have a 3tb external HDD. Writing to the disk works properly. Through the terminal I can access it without problems, but when I open the disk through files and try to change a file or folder name or even enter a folder, my laptop fan starts spinning hard and it seems to hang. Not sure how to troubleshoot this.



lshw gives me this:
