Hi Daniel, It can't be a USB fault as copying is fine using 'cp' at a terminal and the error occurs copying to hard disk in nautilus. As attached. Triggering the error does not write anything to dmesg.

It is not clear what sort of drives are affected but it certainly occurs copying to Dropbox and to a USB flash drive (NTFS). Doing the copy with 'cp' at a terminal works fine. All files tried are normal photos and docs, nothing large.
