Windows 10: Windows 10 BSOD when writing to external USB HDDs

Since the most recent Windows 10 update every time I try to write to either of my 1TB external USB HDDs I get a BSOD. Any ideas what's going on?

External HDD/USB.

Hello.

I have an external HDD docking station connected to my PC thru USB.

Devine manager sees it. But Windows explorer does not.

Suggestions?

 

Slow HDD read and write speeds

Alternatively, you can check for the read and write speed of the HDD in task manager. Please follow the steps mentioned below to check the read and write speed of the hard drive:

1. Press Ctrl + Shift + Esc key together on the keyboard.
   
2. Click on Performance tab.
   
3. Click on Disk 0.
   
4. You will find the Read speed and
   Write speed at the bottom of the window.
   

Hope it helps.
