I have no idea what the MS driver is, so it's impossible to answer specifically. Generically, for drivers that expect a contiguous sg list, then 128 elements (512k) is the maximum. For drivers updated to use the sg chaining API (which is at least all of those in drivers/scsi), there is no maximum except what the hardware is limited to. > I changed the max_sectors in struct scsi_host_template > usb_stor_host_template structure to 2048.

As long as the driver supports chaining, you increase it in /sys/block/dev>/queue/max_sectors_kb. For compatibility reasons this stays clamped at 512 unless a user specifically raises it.
