Paragon NTFS for mac mess or something else?

I am really not sure what is happening all of the sudden but my two hard drives frequently show no content inside after resuming from sleep.

I very recently got the new 5GB WD ultra drive formatted as NTFS and installed paragon driver that came with it. The older 4TB drive is still HFS+ and both are connected via USB3.0 hub on my monitor. There had never been any trouble before. Now both drives frequently show empty after waking up the system. The small external SSD on HFS+, connected directly is still live. I have too little USB ports on the old mac so have no choice at all but to use the hub.
I will be migrating away from MAC very soon so it is key that I have some way to transfer data to win / linux compatible storage. I thought this was the answer but it sure looks more like a bat from the hell. Time machine refuses to recognise NTFS drive either, and I'm only asking to backup its data, not on to it.

Console shows a lot of

disk3s1: I/O error.

That's the new 5TB one.

I can pull the monitor cable out, put it back in and they then work till next time.

I'm not sure what to do apart from missing the black friday sales and buying something right now.

Have you looked at this page already? https://kb.paragon-software.com/article/4456 The Knowledgebase looks worth hunting around in.

I have to say the culprit turned out to be the WD SOFTWARE itself. After uninstalling all of it completely no lockups so far last 2 nights. NTFS driver seems fine other than the time machine issue or that it refuses to autoupdate to latest version but asks ever evening. Hopefully this will see it though to next PC.
