Ah. Well, it was basically writing many files to it. IIRC, I only got
about 1-3 GB out of 7 GB copied. And then, I retried and then noticed
slower speeds even stuckage (0 byte for a minute to start, can't
eject/unmount, etc.)). :/

Interesting. I didn't know Mac's HFS+ could slow down. I have not seen
it happened with FAT32 and NTFS so far, but not on this drive yet.

Quote of the Week: Allah's Apostle said, "Once while a prophet amongst
the prophets was taking a rest underneath a tree, an ant bit him. He,
therefore, ordered that his luggage be taken away from underneath that
tree and then ordered that the dwelling place of the ants should be set
on fire. Allah sent him a revelation: 'Wouldn't it have been sufficient
to burn a single ant (that bit you)?'" --Translation of Sahih Bukhari,
Book 54, Number 536
