Well the timeouts are because the drive went to sleep and did not
return from a comand in a reasonable time.
The result is a BDR (bus device reset) which tries to reset the drive.
Finaly the drive responds not beeing ready.

Sounds like a bad firmware on the drive.
The timeout alone could be a bad cabeling too, but this should not
result in dropping the device.
You might work around the firmware bug by disabling tagged queueing
and/or write cache.
It could also be triggered by a problem with a physical drive.
Nevertheless the error behavour is broken.
