External WD freezes my OSX

-

hey all!

i'm in bad spot.*

yesterday going through files on 6tb western digital book hard drive connected old imac running snow leopard. had been playing many different movie files camera in quick time player categorize them during couple of days , had been fine. of sudden quick time froze , wouldn't answer had force quit , tried again, same thing happened , finder , froze , had force shut off computer holding down power button. same thing happened after restarted computer. after each time have force off computer wd hard drive still has light on , keep sounding it's working hard , have pull power plug make stop.*
started again try copy files drive freeze osx again. connected old macbook pro , same thing happened tried connect usb instead of fire wire , seemed act normal. replaced firewire , tested , seemed work fine on both computers. assumed firewire cable causing problems. since bit shaken started backups of hard drive , copied folder of 323 gb during night. in morning had copied 10 gb , had frozen again. again connected both macbook pro , copied on missing. tried copy folder froze again.*
behaves irrational in eyes , wonder wrong , do?

when start computer without drive, acts , same goes when connect external hard drive.

did control disk utility on both internal , external drives, , said fine.

didn't notice hard drive standing in sun shining through window behind imac , room quite warm. can started this?

noticed folder did backup of, shows different content size on macbook pro , on imac. , goes both original folder , backup on other external drive. finder says both folders 301 gb on macbook , 323 on imac. freaks me out since important folder , can't loose 22 gb. knows why can be?

extremely grateful thoughts on this!

 

you should have had proper backup strategy in place before hard drive (as of them eventually) fails.

@ point, should manually compare movies/files you've copied across make sure have them all.
