I have personally experienced this problem, not with SATA but with SCSI. I overclocked the PCI bus, and everything ran stable for a few days, but after some extended period of time, my system became noticeably unstable. I had previously done some burn-in testing at the overclocked configuration, but apparently I didn't do it long enough. In the end, I figured out the SCSI adapter/drives were slowly being corrupted. I'd get a bad bit every few hours. over time, this accumulated in files/data.

In the end, I backed down the PCI bus, reformatted and reinstalled the OS, then everything was fine.
