It's possible. But it's weird to me that TCP wouldn't catch any
packet-type errors and retransmit even before it got to the application
layer, SCP. I'm able to transfer files to a non-RAIDed system without
the corruption however this system has only RAID1 drives in it. I
suppose I could break the RAID and just partition one of the drives
separately to eliminate that issue.
I'm hoping the problem will be solved with two new hard drives arriving
tomorrow. This machine isn't in production yet so I'll swap out the
hard drives and try again.
