Large file transfers from a HDD to a 4TB samsung evo 870 cause it to overheat and causes the system to not recognize it anymore, until I restart.

I have looked for multiple solutions but have not found any. Could anyone please help me with this?

    Treat it like any other component overheating problem. Is there good airflow over the drive, or is it nuzzled at the bottom of your case between two hard drives and a rats nest of cables? Is it mounted on the motherboard back plate?

    More info will let us help you more. What’s the temperature of the drive during these large file transfers? What’s the max temp before it powers off and is no longer detected?

    Try to transfer 500GB at a time and make sure you cool EVO with blowing fan at max speed? It’s worth doing 250GB at time, you will probably get it done faster
