SanDiisk 1tb Extreme causing file explorer to not respond?

I just bought a brand new SanDisk 1tb extreme plus from best buy and it is freezing my file explorer. The green loading bar takes forever then eventually freezes at the end. Any help pls.

  • Use a different USB 3.0 or USB 3.1 port, preferably directly on the motherboard (rear ports) rather than a hub.
