I believe these are timeouts... I doubt there is any problem with your
HDD, but there can be a problem between the kernel and your USB host
controller or your cable. Once I had a problem like this that was to do
with interrupt routing, I turned off acpi (acpi=off) and forced bios
interrupt routing (pci=biosirq) and stuff started working again.
I would also try backing down a kernel version or two if possible,
especially if USB had been working before.
