Query: Very unstable as an eSATA drive

Bought this drive to stream large orchestral music samples. The consistent transfer rate of Firewire was attractive, but I had the option of going for the 2GB rate of eSATA, so I bought this drive.Samples would not stream properly, if they could be found at all. The drive would spin up and spin down every few minutes. Nothing I did and no settings I changed could get this drive to work properly as eSATA. I believe for a while that it was the problem of Windows Vista, but that turned out to not be true.Since that time, I've had to use this as just another external USB drive. Not for my intended purpose at all. If you need eSATA, I suggest Seagate.
