Having just experienced NTFS corruption in Windows thanks to a slightly
kinked SATA cable (hint: *never* chkdsk/fsck/etc until you're sure the
cables are fine), I would *love* to know why this causes a checksum
error at ZFS level rather than a read error that any filesystem (or
indeed RAID layer) will notice.

What's the point in having the connection protected by a CRC if it's
just going to let bogus data through anyway?
