Maxell SD card problems

Can anyone help
I bought one of the 2 Gig Maxell SD Cards from Play.com for £9.49
Seems ok, e.g. when you put photos on and stuff but I am trying to copy a load of maps to it from my sat nav.
Its about 500 megabytes of data.
Initially the transfer of files starts ok, but then after about 30 seconds it stops, and the drive "dissappears" from my computer. About 20 seconds later it suddenly reappears and a couple of files will have been transferred but of course not all of them.
I have tried formatting the card several times but to no avail.
Anyone know why this is happening?
Or is it a common problem when copying across large amounts of data?
Is there a utility which would check if its a dodgy card? Or that I could do some kind of special format to it?
