Hello Bengt, sil3114 is known to cause data corruption with some disks. So far I only know about Seagate, but maybe there issues with newer Samsungs as well? http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0710.2/2035.html Unfortuntely this issue has been simply ignored by the SATA developers :( So if you want to be on the safe side, go an get another controller. I hope I won't frighten you too much, but it also might be possible one of your disks has a problem, I have also seen a few broken disks, which don't return what you write to it...
