The PI Zero only has one usb port through which I was running both Ethernet and a usb drive connections. My guess is that latency of the (old) hard drive was causing the data flow to stop and the little cpu could never catch up.

It doesn't matter anymore, I bought used Synology NAS last night. It will be used for music (Minimserver) and (non-confidential) family document storage. Things like owners manuals etc.

And yes, I have a very good backup plan, which involves an iosafe and a bank safe deposit box. If our family photos and videos where ever destroyed my wife would literally shoot me.
