I notice this problem sometimes when I use my friend's external bus powered FW drive. I tried copying or moving files from my mbp to his drive but if the drive is a bit big...let say several gigs sometimes, it just won't be able to move it and just stops.

Curious if that is because the bus can only sustain a certain file size? and if so, how to go about moving files that big?
