Hello everyone,
in my latest installation I have a problem copying files.

Let's say I copy 5 files from my OS X HDD to another internal ExFat HDD.
This worked without problems on my last installation.
Now I sometimes get damaged files after copying, which OS X doesn't want to open (suggests me to put damaged file in trash).
The strange thing is, sometimes all 5 files copy correctly, and sometimes all 5 are faulty.

I have absolutely no idea what kind of problem this could be.
The size of the files seems to be correct.
Both SSDs are new and I don't have any problems at all under windows with them.

Appreciate all feedback.
Best regards

Could you please try to copy the files through terminal.
 
I wasn't able to reproduce the problem by now, it might be possible that the Filesystem was damaged.
I had this problem one time in my windows installation as well and then used the "repair filesystem" function available under right-click on the hard-drive.
It didn't tell me if he found a lot of problems, but it said it repaired something.
In case the problem wasn't fixed I will get back here, but at the moment it looks like the new SSD had some problem with the filesystem after the initial formatting.
