Issues moving files on/from external harddisc using eSATA

I've bought a Toshiba STOR.E D10 Zwart 1,5TB so that I can use e-SATA to connect it to my laptop. I've got a HP Probook 6555b with Windows 7 64bits. When I use the USB connection (this hard disc has both USB an eSATA) all works fine, no problem at all.

When I connect it with the eSATA cable I can find the external hard disc and brwose through the files that are on it. However when I try to move files from my laptop onto the harddisc (or the other way around) after about 10 seconds it slows down and stops half way copying. Next Windows Explorer is not responding.

Does anyone have an idea about what the solution to this problem can be?

I found this solution on the Toshiba forum:

Toshiba Support Forums: Problem with Toshiba Stor.E D10, 1,5Tb ...

You could give that a try.

with my new toshiba 500 gig first thing i did was format it. not had a single problem with it.
