I have run into the same issue as reported before and as is well known
and discussed on this list:
ata14.00: ERROR: This driver doesn't support LBA48 yet and may cause
data corruption on such devices. Disabling.
Commenting out the LBA48 check and actually testing the driver did
confirm that the driver causes problems:

I have read up as much as possible to start looking into hacking the
driver to support LBA48. Any pointers / suggestions before I start
bumping my head?
I am an experienced linux programmer with a lot of unpolished skills
in kernel development.
I really need to get my drives working...
