A while back, after losing some personal photographs to bit rot, I became curious about this and did some experimentation with RS. The biggest drawback I found was that even with a relatively fast processor it is slow compared to typical disk read/write speeds. I concluded that the ZFS approach of RAID + checksums would be preferable.
