I experience the same problem (with up to date 10.04.1 running 2.6.32-31
-generic-pae) with a brand new USB key (Super Talent Express Ram Cache
32GB, USB3 used in an USB2 port).

I noticed problems at umount (error messages concerning cache sync and
device stop) so I checked dmesg after a automount and:

****

ASC 0x4 seems to be a hardware error reported by attached device,
recovered because sense key 4 (offset 2 in descriptor)... could not find
any explication for ASCQ 0x1d in charts availlable online and I'm not a
SCSI emulation expert ;o)

So do not assume expired. Let me know asap if some more experiment is
needed on my side...

Also, the device seems to be operating nicely (cache WT setup at plug
may help for umount problem!) despite of these reported problems that do
show up in other distros as well (google on it, you'll find it on Fedora
and others).

Regards
