As far as I know there are no ongoing plans to fix this issue. Yes, we need
to
support the oddballs too, of course.
Actually, I'm arguing that you (FreeBSD, not necessarily the USB layer) need
to better support the *main-stream* devices better (I care much less about
the outliers, because by definition, the quality of their support affects
far fewer people). These Toshiba drives are vanilla stuff, used by many for
backups
You will notice that not many other user are replying in this thread
(so far at least). The reason for that is (for me at least) that most
of the usb hard drives work with FreeBSD.
so I will argue that your Toshiba drives are oddballs, and are broken.
Just because there is a lot of them doesn't make them correct.
And as you have noted, vendors don't care to fix their broken devices,
as long as they can sell enough of them.
Such is life, I guess.
