Attempting to copy files from external drive crashes explorer.

I am using a USB to SATA adapter (https://www.sabrent.com/product/USB-DSC8/usb-3-0-sataide-hard-drive-converter-power-supply-led-activity-lights/) to copy audio files from an old HDD for a friend. I can navigate through the drive and even listen to the files, but Explorer hangs if I try to move anything. I can get Explorer to restart if I unplug the adapter, but otherwise it hangs indefinitely. I am at a loss for what to do, so any help would be greatly appreciated.
