I was able to copy a large number of files with no performance issues. The PC that I did the second test on turns out to have a nVidia MCP51 chipset (It's a gateway GT4016 with a KTBC51G-LF motherboard). I should have checked this beforehand.
So this problem looks to persist across different nVidia chipsets. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1063474 Title: System fails to connect to iHOS-104 DVD drive with nvidia MCP61 chipset.
