After a month of waiting for confirmation of the bug, I have reformatted the partition as ext4. If this works (can copy 1.5TB in less than 2 days) the bug is in the NTFS support in Ubuntu. If it doesn't, I will return the drive (Seagate says it is in warranty but refuses to provide any support to Linux users) and chalk up another Ubuntu bug that is being ignored by the Ubuntu community.
