The ERROR (0:18) thing indicates a SCSI GROSS ERROR problem. In other words, the controller is seing a severe transport error on the SCSI BUS. This is often due to a SCSI BUS problem. Decreasing the data throughput can make the problem less likely to happen, but this is obviously a poor workaround.
Could you check the synchronous data parameters negotiated with the Adaptec. If speed is lower than 20 MB/s and/or offset is lower than 16, then we may well just be comparing oranges and apples.

Hmmm... If you just hot-switch the device then the breakage seems normal. Can I assume you didn't do so ?:)

I suggest you to define some lower data speed in the NVRAM and see if it makes differences. OTOH, if the Adaptec is using a different (assumed lower) speed you may give a try with the C1010-33 at the same speed. You may let me know the results.
