USB 2 Caddy Problems

I've recently began having problems with a SATA - USB caddy to my Laptop. The caddy in question is one of these:

Sometimes I get "Delayed Write Errors" (in XP), other times the blue light will just go off and any activity will be stopped without any warning - when I take the USB cable out, the light comes back on. I've asked the seller and he thinks its a problem with the HDD itself, with a possible "Bad Sector" - but I'm not convinced.

Any help?

Have you tried to plug it in a different USB port?

Hi, yes I have and no it doesn't seem to make any difference
