This is almost certainly a hardware power issue with your USB port. If you are using a hub, it would need to be a powered hub. If internal, many usb drives have a cable with 2 plugs for extra power. This would be more noticeable with a longer amount of writes, which need more power than idle or reading.
Hmmm I was thinking the same... I have a powered hub, and the internal ports cabled to the front of teh case as well as right on the motherboard. I have had the probelm with the powered hub, and the ones on the front of the case.. i haven't tried the USB ports on the motherboard itself. This is a new issue (ie since 11.1) that has popped up... same hardware as with the last 2 releases, and USB hasn't had this issue. Anyway, I'll test the rear USB ports.. see if it still happens.
