    Storage devices can fail at any time for any reason. Always have a backup.

    Fwiw, I think BTRFS is better than ext4 and friends at actually detecting whether a block is corrupted or not.

      “Better” in the sense that it actually has the ability to check for corruption at all, as all metadata and data are checksummed.
