Unfortunately I find it's not enough to copy large files, you need to verify them as well. I don't trust the hard drive controller or the nvme controller to ha

  You're in the wrong abstraction layer. There are a whole bunch of intervening levels between the layer where you've imagined that you "need to verify them as well" and the layer where the "hard drive controller" that you don't trust lives. Those layers may conceal a real problem (if there is one) so that you can't see it even though it exists, or they can create problems, which you will then mistakenly blame on the "hard drive controller" even if it was not at fault. So you've created a situation where you can at best confuse yourself into not understanding what's actually going on, and at worst satisfy yourself nothing is wrong when actually there's a catastrophe awaiting you. The worst of all worlds.
