I couldn't crash my drive with the byte sequence given. However, it crashes if I try to transfer 1GB of zeroes:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sda8 bs=16M count=1G kills the device with a 100% probability. With regard to Windows -- I've managed to copy 30-40 GB of media files to the drive and did not have a single crash...
