You know, I didn't realize it at first, but that's rather surprising. The CSW patch should not have made any difference at all to the failure mode you were seeing. All it did was tell the computer to expect a larger CSW packet _from_ the drive; it did not affect the data being sent _to_ the drive. And the failures occurred not during the CSW phase but during the data phase, when the computer was writing to the drive, not reading the CSW. You might try reverting that patch to see if the failure rate goes back up. And if it does, is the failure mode different? I don't recall if you said whether your system has a VIA USB controller. If it does, that might explain the larger CSW request size, quite independently of the drive vendor.
