I am also experiencing USB resets using Ubuntu 7.10 and 8.04 Beta when attaching an external USB 2.0 3.5" HDD.
Running a command like 'wipe -kq /dev/sdg' leads to a reset after running for a few hours. Sometimes a reset forces a new device mapping (so /dev/sdg is no longer valid) and wipe returns with an error. Exchanging the external enclosure makes no difference. It also does not matter whether I use a USB port of my computer or plug the HDD into a USB hub. Here is the result of a test using Hardy 8.04 Beta. The wipe command kept running in this case.
