All
  I read this post on zfs corruption and there is an interesting comment about cable types .

I have a server that has a similar issue ; but due to its age I assumed data corruption on the drives was a way of life . Disks get old motors burn out parts fail etc.  Zfs protected my data but I swapped 4 disks out of 60 in the last 18 months  . The part of the story I found interesting was how the disks didn't show up in the controller bios . I have that issue with a similar card on this server . So has anyone  ever seen this cabling issue ? Is it worth changing? How do I know which cable I have ?
