Blind writes means the Mac won't wait for acknowledgement from the SCSI drive after a write - it'll just wait a certain amount of time, then assume it succeeded. This results in faster write performance, but can theoretically let errors slip by. In practice, blind writes are pretty standard, so just go with it and be happy.
