I stopped using a few SATA ports that were explicitly throwing SATA errors, but I suspect that the remaining connections are unpredictably (albeit infrequently) corrupting data in ways that are more difficult to detect.
Sounds like a *great* test bed for software data integrity tools. Don't
throw that system away when you get a more reliable one!
That sounds like a situation that btrfs with multiple copies could
handle. Use a beefier checksum than the default crc-32 also.
