I have the same problem in gutsy (AMD64) with a WD Passport HDD drive. I can copy some information then the whole desktop freezes.
The machine seems to be running but completely unresponsive to mouse or keyboard input.
I can however shutdown with Alt +SysRq reisub - that's the only thing that works.
Can't even Ctrl + alt F3.
