Is it a new drive?
I have an 80GB drive I bought recently, and it seems to have MAJOR issues when receiving files over a certain size (about 50MB) - it'll just kill the system, and require a reboot if it's not already caused one...

my 20Gb of USB2 goodness
fried itself, whilst dealing with big files.
It completely cooked itself one afternoon, transfering all it's stickers ink onto my duvet.
Then it just died.
