Your system info didn't look at all strange. Are you sure that you've got a driver problem? Maybe the real fault lies somewhere in the application program you're using for burning discs. And what about using the flash storage devices -- do they work all right at high speed? As for the DVD drive, does reading work? If it does, then almost certainly the drivers are okay. If not, you'll need to post more detailed debugging information. You can turn on USB Mass Storage verbose debugging in the kernel configuration (CONFIG_USB_STORAGE_DEBUG) and rebuild the usb-storage driver. Then the output from dmesg or the kernel log (if you have one) will show what's going on when you try to access the drive.
