Copy with Finder from external HDD to MacHDD(data) fails with zero byte entry and no warnings or copy dialogue
I've just been experiencing the same issue you're describing here and have a couple of workarounds that might be useful.
Option 1
Use the command line, the cp command seems to copy the files over just fine.
Option 2
Mount the drive in read-only mode. This is an option within the paragon NTFS for Mac application. After you've connected the drive and it shows up in the application you can opt to mount it in read-only mode.
You will have to re-mount the drive after for the change to take effect, this can be easily done using the unmount and mount buttons in the app. You won't, of course, be able to make any changes to any of the files in this mode.
