An interesting point of view, BUT...
If I am seeing repeated unexplained mismatches (despite being on a good
UPS and having no unclean shutdowns), then some part of my hardware is
failing, and I'd like to know *what part*.
How about your disk enclosure? I would think that if vibration caused a
silent bit flip *on write* you would get a read error (CRC) reading it
back. but... I am going on the theory that any factor which causes
measurable errors on read is not doing anything good for writes either.
