I don’t really understand how any file system designed in the last 20 years could be lacking data checksums. Data integrity is job #1, and yet.

Isn’t that offloaded to the underlying hardware?

Presumably they have sufficient control at that level for their current lineup, but I’m not sure what it means for aftermarket disks and external disks.

Yes, it's a shame. I'm guessing Apple takes care of that with their own custom SSD firmware, but I'd love to take the additional precautions. For now, I add par2 error correction/detection to my pictures.
