I was OP on a related thread a couple of months ago. I would say that
I abandoned trying to understand issues of checking for errors on USB

hardware errors were instead more likely software glitches in the kernel
or in loadable modules. For me, frequent running of sync seems to reduce
the error rate quite a bit. (By frequent, I mean once or twice a second.
I do this with a while loop running in a separate xterm.)

Have you tried mounting with the 'sync' option?
