Copying 3tb of Files / Errors

I am trying to copy 3tb of files from 1 4tb hd to another 4tb hd. I keep getting errors. It keeps stopping and failing. Any ideas why? I checked the health of the drive in Disk Utility, no issues and it works fine for use. Not sure why copying is such a problem. Thank you

iMac (27-inch, Late 2013), OS X Mavericks (10.9)

Yeah this is an ongoing problem with OS X. Try copying only some of the files, less than 1TB, at a time.
