A slight nit. Using cat(1) to read the file to /dev/null will not actually cause the data to be read thanks to the magic that is mmap(). If you use dd(1) to read the file then yes you will either get the data and thus know it's blocks match their checksums or dd will give you an error if you have no redundancy.
