Apparently this is a regression in the xhci code (USB3). If you connect
the device to a USB2 port (if you have one) or disable xHCI in the BIOS,
the problem is gone. Of course you get USB2 speeds as well.

Relevant bug reports:

"Bug#741989: linux: 3.13.5: known regression: "xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep""
https://lists.debian.org/debian-kernel/2014/03/msg00153.html

"USB 3.0 corrupts NTFS disks"
https://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-963046-start-0.html

In a nutshell, 
1. when something goes bad, the first dmesg messages say

[ 3888.906845] usb 4-4: reset SuperSpeed USB device number 3 using xhci_hcd
[ 3888.923000] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801de04f680
[ 3888.923002] xhci_hcd 0000:00:14.0: xHCI xhci_drop_endpoint called with disabled ep ffff8801de04f6c0
(probably multiple times if keep using the drive)

2. Then, the drive is disconnected and reconnected again. If you have
the default setting to automount, you get many Nautilus windows opening
up.

See http://blogs.msdn.com/b/usbcoreblog/archive/2012/07/13/common-
issues-in-usb-3-0-devices.aspx for more about "Set SEL".

3. After some more use, the device gives buffer I/O errors,

[ 5398.216920] Buffer I/O error on device sdb1, logical block 91570828

Title:
  174c:5106 1 TB External USB 3.0 Drive Fails to Automount through USB
  3.0 dock with XHCI Enabled

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in “linux” package in Debian:
  Unknown
Status in “linux” package in Suse:
  Unknown

Bug description:
  I have a 1 TB Western Digital drive in a USB 3.0 HDD dock that will not automount with Ubuntu 13.10 while XHCI is enabled in the BIOS. If I disable XHCI in the BIOS, it automounts normally. I've tried an external USB 3.0 enclosure and two different brands of USB 3.0 HDD docks (that use different chipsets) with the 1 TB drive and it still will not automount. Dmesg shows the following when the drive is turned on:
  [10813.786820] usb 4-5.3: new SuperSpeed USB device number 4 using xhci_hcd
  [10823.816236] usb 4-5.3: New USB device found, idVendor=174c, idProduct=5106
  [10823.816245] usb 4-5.3: New USB device strings: Mfr=2, Product=3, SerialNumber=1
  [10823.816250] usb 4-5.3: Product: AS2105
  [10823.816255] usb 4-5.3: Manufacturer: ASMedia
  [10828.823853] usb 4-5.3: can't set config #1, error -110

  WORKAROUND: Disable XHCI in the BIOS, but this runs at USB 2.0 speeds
  using EHCI.

  I actually thought the 1 TB drive was bad, and I RMA'd it to Western
  Digital, but the replacement drive fails with the same error message.
  I have a couple of Western Digital 500 GB drives that work just fine
  in the same HDD dock with XHCI enabled. All the drives were formatted
  in Ubuntu 13.10 using LUKS via the Disks Utility. I have tried various
  settings in the BIOS (XHCI set at Smart Auto, Auto, and Manual) but
  they make no difference. I found an old bug report with the same
  "can't set config #1, error -110" error message that recommended
  adding "pci=nomsi" to Grub, but that did not work either.
