    Will this work then if there is something wrong with the computer or the external drives, cause it does the same thing on 4 external things so by the process of illimination its got to be the computer and not the harddrives(external).

    Yes i tried it on my laptop and transfered several files at once totalling about 8gb at once and did it well and didn't stop at all, if i had tried in on the offending computer it would maybe do a file of 700mb ok it might even do 2 but a file with 8gb no chance....
