Perhaps instead of an unusual_devs entry, you need to decrease the 
max_sector value to 128.  See

This should not change the protocol to 8070i.  I can't imagine why that 
happens.

This is not the typical sort of error one sees when FIX_CAPACITY is 
needed.

By the way, if you're using 2.6.29 or later, you can specify quirks 
like FIX_CAPACITY as module parameters to usb-storage.  You don't have 
to change unusual_devs.h and rebuild the driver.  See the description 
of usb_storage.quirks= in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.
