GUI file copy stalls to HDD Enclosure. ROBOCOPY fine

I have this 2.5” SATA HDD/SSD USB 3 enclosure. It’s just purchased in Mar-24.

I tested it on my Toshiba 1 TB SATA 2.5” HDD.

I have a strange observation. When from Windows explorer (Windows 10 as well as 11) when I copy a very large file say 5 GB sized ISO file for example, then midway the transfer rate drops to 0. Then explorer hangs the enclosure goes not responding and I have to physically disconnect it and reconnect again. File copy fails. Same is the case with other file sync apps like Free File Sync. I have the latest version.

However if I use ROBOCOPY command line to copy same large files then it works flawlessly.What is wrong with GUI based file copy operation?

There’s no issue with GUI based file copy from one internal drive to another. The issue only comes when this enclosure is the destination.

The enclosure is connected directly to USB 3 port of my Windows 11 desktop PC or Windows 10 Laptop. No extension cables are ever used here.
