I heard that Ext4 Was more stable in these conditions, but how can I be sure that my files didn't get corrupted in the process? I heard that because of Ext4 journaling file that the files aren't very easy to get corrupted as compared to NTFS (which is what I switched from).

Anyone to help me out with any of this?

Any file system with journaling is less prone to corruption, including NTFS. That said, it has nothing to do with freezing when copying. If the data has only been copied partway, there is nothing a file system can do. Just copy the files again, overwriting the files that had already been copied.
