Tom (and Richard) -thanks so much. This suggestion fixed the problem for me. I was trying to copy files from an old HDD to a new one. It would start the transfer and then stop with this error.
The old HDD (a powered one) was plugged into a USB3 slot on the top of my tower. After reading Tom's post I ejected it and plugged it into a USB3 slot at the back of the machine and now the data transfers without error!

I also have the same problem, Should I format my HDD drive ?
I went through the "trouble" of creating a microsoft account just because I thought: "if 1 person is helped by my comment, it is worth it" .. so mission accomplished :-)
If I got the following results from running those tests should I get a new hard drive?
Tom, glad my info helped someone. I was actually able to perform a backup (system image) on 1 of my 2 drives on my Marvell controller after reinstalling the drivers, however, I still can't execute backups on my larger 3 GB drive.
