Can you make sure the USB HDD actually does flush caches reliably and
doesn't lose data it claims it guaranteed to disk?  In addition to the
generally bad implementation quality of USB periphals there is a large
chance of beeing lost in translation when converting the SCSI WCE mode
and FUA bit concepts to the ATA equivalents.
