8 GB Microdrive Dying during transfers.

Ok, for some reason my microdrive is stopping during transfers and I have to take it out and put it back in again. Why is this? It is really annoying and I dont know if its just my card reader because I havent had a chance to test it in Ax. Anyone else experience this?

I guess 8GB means Seagate not Hitachi?

Could it be power? I had the same problem when using the front usb ports on my pc. Moving to the back solved it. I could hear the drive spinning up, and then down, and rinse, repeat. I am using an external usb powered card reader btw.
