Just wondering if there are any known issues with USB 3.0 storage devices in Centos 6.5??
I just got one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817332028
it does either esata or USB 3.0. My new motherboard (ASUS M5A99X EVO R2.0) supports both, so I've tried both (of course, can't have a feature without at least giving it a whirl! :)). esata seems to work fine, I can copy gigs 'n gigs of data to it using the esata connection.
however, with USB3 it works for a bit then something goes wonky... After copying some hundreds of megabytes (and I don't know if it is a consistent number or not) suddenly my C6 box starts reporting write errors.
some investigation shows that /dev/sdc (and /dev/sdc1) no longer exist on the system. it takes a reboot to get it back. After which it'll work for a while then the same thing all over again. I've tried a different USB 3.0 cable but it makes no difference.
Anyone got ideas on this?
You may try using a newer kernel from ElRepo (currently 3.14.4):

I didn't do that, but what I did do was download a nightly build for Fedora 21, a live CD image, burn it to a disc and boot that. One would think it has a recent kernel (I neglected to look while it was running to find out what kernel it was).
so I ran a bunch of commands to copy stuff to and from it, and while it took a few minutes, it also failed in more or less the same way. I'd guess that means that whatever the bug is, it's not fixed in Linux, yet.
