LaCie 20 GB USB 2.0 Pocket Drive (300691)

Summary: Works great for 4 or 5 minutes
Review: This drive *looks* great, but mine only works for a few minutes at a time before disconnecting (even in the middle of data transfer) for no apparent reason. I tested the drive on several machines (3 Windows 2000 boxes and 1 Mac running OS X) and all had the same problem. Also tried both USB 1.1 and 2.0 ports, to no avail. Thank goodness this happened right out of the box rather than several months down the road when it would contain critical data.
