One thing you can do is to mount a debugfs filesystem, and under it go to the EHCI directory corresponding to the controller your drive is plugged into. The contents of the "registers" and "async" files would be interesting -- particularly if you get them while the disk is idle. You might even try looking at "registers" several times in a row, since its contents may change over time.
