Balls. I've used many SiI3112-based cards over the years with nary a
problem. They were a great alternative to the more expensive Adaptecs,
so much so that some motherboards included the Silicon Image BIOS in the
system BIOS, and performed better.

Silent data corruption is almost always due to improper termination.

SCSI termination is a black art. You need sacrificial goats, black
candles, a pentagram in the right shade of chalk, and to be standing on
the correct foot and facing in precisely the right direction while
chanting your incantation to the SCSI gods.

Apart from that, it's **** easy.
