ZFS is very good at this, but for data I'd like to have both belt and
suspenders (note that there's still a pending important issue about
rewriting or not when meeting a bad sector, it's mitigated if you're
using mirrors (which you should), but with RAIDZ-n, it raises the
possibility of data loss.)

But from your other post (10x slower w/ chksum), I think there's no
question that removing it is the way to go for your case.

As always in IT, the best compromise for your own case is always the
best of all ;-)
