Is there a simple tool to implement this? Or would it be a case of manually checking the hashes?ZFS "might" detect the effects of a bitflip though!
At the end of the day, no filesystem or RAID scheme can really protect against this - if it's a big worry then you'll need ECC memory (correctly implemented).
If it's a media server, you can protect against bitflips on data upload by using verifed copies - this isn't practical though on data which changes frequently (eg live active database).
Data will not be changing regularly at all. It's simply music and videos. Documents will go on SkyDrive.
