magically appears in front of Robert Hancock:

I, too, have the same chipet. I have observed the same corruption bug
with SATA disks only. PATA disks works perfectly. 

When I have more time and a spare SATA disk, I will try and reproduce
the same problem and post results on here, in the hope someone will
come up with a fix for it. 

It is very annoying not being able to use cheaper SATA disks for
backing up my boxes instead of slightly more expensive PATA disks.
