For external USB drives like Seagate, Samsung, WD, etc - I see a lot of information about copying speed. But I'm more interested in why they seem to pause sometimes. Like opening a new window and you have to wait to see the files, while the drive makes a whirring sound. Is there a word for that?

I edit video and want to minimize the instances where the drive freezes like that. Are they all about the same, or are some snappier to work with?
