I think you can try newer kernel as xhci was buggy. Perhaps it is better in
newer kernel.
I assume you have external power supply to your disks.
I have also experienced failure on raided drives with usb. I prefer
SATA/eSATA links now.
The kernel version topic was already discussed. They have the same ABI but
keep patching, so it's normal to see two different versions one for the ABI
and one for the real version.
The disk could have been damaged. you can mark those sectors faulty and try
again
