Why does a file break when copying from an external hard drive to a computer?

If you copy a file from an external hard drive to your computer, the file may break.

It's not like that all the time, but sometimes I don't know why.

For external hard drives, you can just connect to USB
If you connect it like that, the external hard drive may not work smoothly because the power is weak.
You can connect the power to the external hard drive separately.

When you buy an external hard drive, there will be a power connection.
If you connect it and use it, the data will not be broken.

The amount of power supplied to the USB varies by computer or USB terminal.
It's because the hard disk won't work well if the power supply is insufficient.
As you said, you can connect the power cord separately.
