Often Freezing while Reading Disk

My WD My Passport Pro 2 TB keeps on freezing while reading the files from the Hard Disk including while copying files out from the disk. The copy process will freeze, disk shut down, and OS notify that disk has been ejected. This freezing happens after plugging in the hard disk to the 8TB WD My Book Thunderbolt Duo thunderbolt port.

Hello,

Whats happens if you plug another drive to the Thunderbolt port? 

Whats happens if you plug your Passport Pro directly to your computer?

My Passport Pro freezing still happen even if I plug it directly to the computer.

My iTunes library is inside the Passport Pro too. When I play songs, the track often pause and load as if I’m buffering from YouTube.
