      Hi all i seem to have a intermittent problem that doesnt always happen but is annoying when it does.
      First off i will list the setup and than explain the problem
      Raspberry pi 3
      official 5.1v 2.5a power supply.
      sdisk 16gb class 10 card
      4 port powered usb hub which i have 2 usb to playstation adapters plugged in and then my 1tb hard drive which is a 3.5" and is also powered by its own source.

      I have it setup like this, retropie 4.3 img installed on sd all updated with latest script no settings changed except theme.
      I then ssh into retropie and install plex media server
      I then have 2 partitions on my hard drive. A 128gb partition which is mounted to /home/pi/Retropie then i have the remaining 790gb mounted to /mnt/library which is where i keep my media for the plex server which i use to stream to my smart tvs in my home.
      Now everything works perfect except when transferring files over samba shares.
      i can sometimes copy over alot of stuff then retropie freezes, cant do anything until i unplug.
      sometimes i can copy over say 10gb of roms/media not a problem other times i can copy over 500mb and it will freeze its just random as to when it does it.
      windows 10 pc plugged in via ethernet and also my pi is.

      Any help would be very much appreciated.
      Rob
