Hi Steve. If you are copying a file to this drive, it works quite often just to go ahead, and do command V, Finer Busy or not while you " also turned VoiceOver off. Wait until you think it's done, and then try pressing left arrow. I do left arrow since ΓΏ computer is set to column view. Then turn VoiceOver back on. I haven't been getting this lately, but I used to get the Finer busy a lot. I eep my computer updated so maybe that helped me.
I hope this suggestion helps.
