I have a 1.5TB dirve with external USB2.0 and eSATA
connection ports (on the external box).
I had tried to get it to reamain stable while using it
on USB ports. I kep losing connection with the drive.
USB is inherenly unreliable.
So, I purchased a pcmcia card with 2 eSATA ports,
and connected to the external box vit it's eSATA port.
I have never had any problems ever since.

Have you thought of putting a USB 3.0 card in your system?
I think the drive you describe comes with USB 3.0 connection, right?
