Is a USB3 SSD + Thunder bolt Lacie 256 gig drive compatible with a Macbook 2008 with USB2 ports ?

I just purchased a Lacie SSD drive which ejects its self without any warning. Disappears from finder and disk utility. A message come up saying that the drive was ejected incorrectly when it is still shooing on desktop. I have tried both usb2 ports on mac with different cables ( usb2 to usb2 and usb3 to usb2 ) same problem.

Anybody have any ideas ?

MacBook, Mac OS X (10.7.5), 4 gigs of ram

After many emails with Lacie support they asked me to ship them the drive and they are sending me a new one. They did not say what the problem was ! Have not recieve the new one yet hopping issue was with the usb3 connection on drive and not my macbook.
