> but every modern filesystem has checksums for every block. At least 2 people have informed you that you’re wrong. Now it’s up to you if you choose to educate yourself on this topic or remain a fool. > Checkdisk isn't powered by magic. What is “checkdisk”? If you’re talking about chkdsk, or Check Disk, or fsck like tools - none of those require checksums to do what they do. At a basic level they check the integrity of on disk data structures - the actual connectivity, valid counts, etc. How in your mind does a checksum contribute to this task? Chkdsk exists for FAT32, which you already seem to admit has no checksums. How do you think it works? > Also, look into TCG Pyrite. Almost all consumer drives with SED features are Pyrite. What does this have to do with anything - it certainly isn’t filesystem level encryption.
