Old Time Capsule Hard Drive Won't Stay Connected

i victim of original 500 gb time capsule died on me few months back. replaced 2 tb time capsule , took out old hard drive in dead tc , connected new 1 via sata usb adapter.

works fine, except every , disconnects on own. , can't figure out why.

can disconnect cables , reconnect them , mounts fine again, can't figure out why disconnects. can't figure out when either. lasts couple days. other times disconnect within 30 minutes of reconnecting.

accessing wirelessly through 2 tb time capsule's usb port , running latest version of mac os x lion 10.7.2.

thoughts appreciated!
thanks,
jake.
