Of course the drive is longer attached to HPT370 and your friend is propably reluctant to reattach it, but it would still be nice to know if he gets consistent results which for example this simple test:
cat /dev/hde | mdsum
run for several (5-10, perhaps) times.
OTOH, I haven't had corruption with reading only one disk at a time, but then again I haven't tried too hard as they should really work in parallel.
