These are not *fatal* messages. I get these all the time. Does your drive get listed with
# fdisk -l
and
# lsblk

What is the port type? USB2 or USB3?
The log doesn't contain anything other than these messages?
Does the drive work well with some other OS or distro?

That means, it's probably a problem with the hardware. Just to be extra safe, before taking it to a technician, try it with a live CD.

I tried with arch linux's live CD but didn't work

Preferably, some other live CD. Mint/Ubuntu, etc. But it seems unlikely that it'll work.
