I think it was OCZ that had a bunch of problems with the controllers in those SSDs going bad.

If you're controller is going wonky it's probably anybody's guess as to how it's going to behave.

I answered my one of my own questions with a few tests:

Using a SATA2 3Gb/s cable on a 6G port and 6G drive results in 6G
speed selected (with modern 2 year-old Intel ICH anyhow). Yikes!

root@sysresccd /root % smartctl -a /dev/sda |grep -i sata
SATA Version is: SATA 3.1, 6.0 Gb/s (current: 6.0 Gb/s)

As for spurious corrupted data on the wrong cable, my tests so far have
been inconclusive (and a bit bewildering). It would seem dying SSDs
can spit back wonky data even when they aren't reading the sector that
is damaged!
