ZFS scrub on new disks gives cksum errors

Hi.

I have two new 3TB disks that I'm testing prior to installing in a production
server.  I created a zpool mirror, dumped a bunch of data to the pool and ran a
scrub.  I got back numerous CKSUM errors, the same number on each drive.  I'm
guessing this is not a problem with my 3TB drives but a controller or some
other hardware problem.  Is this a correct assumption?

The PC where I'm running this test is using a GA-E7AUM-DS2H mainboard and
non-ecc memory.
