this is normal. 4.8 first tried 6 byte scsi commands. as the
messages says, for this device 10 byte scsi commands are required.
the default changed in 4.9 from 6 to 10 bytes for usb devices.

you should stop the drive before removing it (camcontrol stop
0:0:0). see camcontrol(8).

when you stop the device (camcontrol), then remove it,
reattaching should work.

if you share your data between windows and freebsd msdosfs is the
right fs. but be aware i had problems with huge partitions
and msdosfs see:
