Zfs needs properly working RAM and properly working disk cache sync.

This is looking more and more like a USB driver or a USB hub problem. 
Since multiple devices are impacted at once, I suspect a USB hub 
problem.  The USB hub might be some external hardware you are using, 
or embedded on the motherboard.  Make sure that your USB devices are 
plugged into motherboard USB slots in order to decrease the chance of 
problems.

Perhaps there might be a fix for the zfs panic problem.
