As other folks are suggesting, ECC may be suitable for you (alongside a protective FS). But if you want to purchase your next workstation with ECC support, be very careful: some motherboards manufacturers just say 'ECC' in their specs but that doesn't mean that they actually use ECC capabilities, that only means that you can plug ECC-RAM into it. Make sure the specs explicitly say something like "Corrects single-bit errors and detects double-bit errors" (you need both, some MBs support only single-bit correction).
I think ECC RAM and a good FS are complementary tools to achieve storage high reliability. One without another may not be that useful.
