Hey there.

This is definitely a behaviour typical for a failing drive. However, in order to confirm that, you'll need to try the drive with a different USB cable and a different computer, to see if the same thing happens. You could also try using the manufacturer's diagnostic tool to test the drive while connected to a different system, if it doesn't freeze up again.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how it goes.
