[CentOS] USB-3.0 on C6.5 ??

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?

thanks!
