When there's a "power" issue with USB drives, I think it's generally going to be at spin-up, when the driver requires the most juice. But even then, there really should be enough power to the port.....the USB hub is configured to provide 500mA per port. It seems like you'd have to have devices consuming power on several ports simultaneously to actually impast power availability on any one port.
In these cases where the drive disconnects during long transfers, I lean toward a power management issue. It's as if the computer forgets the port's in use and initiates a power-saving mode. For troubleshooting, I'd disable/uninstall Power4Gear and then make sure that Windows Power Management (and the USB Hub Properties) are set to never de-power those devices.
