It's interesting that you should mention heat as a problem.  I was
thinking the other day about your series of failed hard drives and
it occurred to me that excessive heat is probably the biggest
contributor to early disk failure.  

With this usb issue, I would definitely take a close look at your
cooling situation.  

Also, check out lsusb -v from the usbutils package.
