I booted from a HD connected to a PCI SATA controller and plugged my
second disk (of a ZFS mirror) into the on-board SATA.
zpool scrub still counted up about 50 checksum errors (for 1.2GB of
data) on the disk that was connected to the on-board SATA controller.
No change from before, but I don't think I had ever yet put enough data
on my disk at any point to make it past 137G anyway.
If you're not booting from the disk, in order to really get a good
handle on the subtle data corruption you may want to setup ZFS so you
have some failing checksums to look at.
Or just boot from your SATA disk and watch the explosion :)
