But, overall, it seems like a lot of overhead, including reading both the source and destination file, calculating checksums, and then (partially) rewriting the destination file.
Reading is usually lots faster, and less overhead and wear, compared to writing. Writing only the changed parts of a large file will also be less overhead than writing the entire file.
This is assuming computing capacity is a lot cheaper than file i/o, which it normally is.
