Same phenomen here.
Have no ideas to solve this.
I only know that MS Windows crashs without the VIA4in1 drivers when 
copying larger files.
With VIA4in1 it is very stable. But I think that this VIA4in1 only uses 
MDMA2, too.
I compared time for copying a few hundred MB on Windows and Linux.
Linux is 2 or 3 seconds faster ;-)
