btw: I'm really suprised how SATA disks are unreliable. I put dozen TBs of data on ZFS last time and just after few days I got few hundreds checksum error (there raid-z was used). And these disks are 500GB in 3511 array. Well that would explain some fsck's, etc. we saw before.

It is more likely due to the density than the interface.  In general,
high density disks will suffer from superparamagnetic affects more than
lower density disks.  There are several ways to combat this, but the
consumer market values space over reliability.  And since there is no
checksumming to detect problems, they don't think they have problems --
the insidious effects of cancer.
