I have the same problem on multiple drives, multiple systems. The only thing that changes is the offset. On a 3 Terabyte drive attached to an internal interface with GUID partition table (model WDC WD3001FAEX-00MJRA0 (01.01L01)) I get: Error seeking to offset 30005927936 (g-io-error-quark, 13).

On a USB 2.0 connected Hitachi 82.3 GB drive with no partition (model TOSHIBA THNSNH128GBST (HTRAN101)) The R/W benchmark actually started but then I got: Error seeking to offset 2470412288 (g-io-error-quark, 13). This is interesting as the drive label indicates the total sectors are 160836480. Disconnected and reconnected this drive and then got: Measuring transfer rate (0.0% complete)… and it hung. 3rd attempt on this drive duplicated first results.

We appear to be seeking beyond extents.
