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.
