- * The U-Boot EHCI driver can handle any transfer length as long as
- * there is enough free heap space left, but the SCSI READ(10) and
- * WRITE(10) commands are limited to 65535 blocks.
+ * Limit the total size of a transfer to 120 KB.
+ *
+ * Some devices are known to choke with anything larger. It seems like
+ * the problem stems from the fact that original IDE controllers had
+ * only an 8-bit register to hold the number of sectors in one transfer
+ * and even those couldn't handle a full 256 sectors.
+ *
+ * Because we want to make sure we interoperate with as many devices as
+ * possible, we will maintain a 240 sector transfer size limit for USB
+ * Mass Storage devices.
+ *
+ * Tests show that other operating have similar limits with Microsoft
+ * Windows 7 limiting transfers to 128 sectors for both USB2 and USB3
+ * and Apple Mac OS X 10.11 limiting transfers to 256 sectors for USB2
+ * and 2048 for USB3 devices.
