There has been a regression in xhci_hcd (driver for USB 3 ports) in Linux 3.12 that can cause disk write operations to fail, and fixes for this are in progress. So far as I am aware, the write failure is properly reported (except that the operation is retried and the failure logged many times, which is also a known bug) and previously written data are readable. If that is the case, I don't believe this qualifies as data corruption.
