That brings up another interesting idea.

ZFS currently uses a 128-bit checksum for blocks of up to 1048576 bits.

If 20-odd bits of that were a Hamming code, you'd have something slightly 
stronger than SECDED, and ZFS could correct any single-bit errors encountered.

This could be done without changing the ZFS on-disk format.
