Maybe  it's  a  HDD controller / driver issue. You should try and set up a
minimal  FTP  server  on the Samba server, and try to upload a big file by
FTP.  If  it hangs, it's not samba. If it works, then maybe it's samba. In
top,  what's  the  process that uses up the most CPU time, when the system
hangs?
