Power Problems With External HD

I picked up an external hard-drive from Best Buy last night; a Simpletech High-Speed USB 320GB hard drive (with AC Adaptor for power). After installing the ArcSoft backup program into my computer, I proceeded to make a backup of my important files. However, it seems that whenever I try to make a backup or copy over anything big for that matter, the HD powers down unexpectedly by itself. I tried switching the USB connection from the port in front to one in the back and downloading another backup-program but it still errors out due to shutdown. If anyone could help me figure out what's wrong, I'd really appreciate it. Here's a link to a Cnet.com review on the HD for more info on it.
