One example found during early use of zfs in Solaris engineering was a system with a flaky power supply. It seemed to work just fine with ufs but when zfs was installed the sata drives started to shows many ZFS checksum errors. After replacing the powersupply, the system did not detect any more errors. Flaky powersupplies are an important contributor to PC unreliability; they also tend to fail a lot in various ways.
