people with high end systems tend to use WD raptor drives, so maybe its as coincidence...
but it might have to do with the HDDs as well!
I would like to see specified if raid was used or not. It may make a difference in corruption.

Besides, one thing is data corruption, another is to render a HDD unusable (altough a low-level format i think could fix it). The second I dont want to touch with a wooden pole.

I already dont trust sata drives reliability, adding another factor to their death is unacceptable.

Let's see in 6 months or something what's going on with the 790i, otherwise Skulltrail (and its slow memory) is the only choice for me.
