Right, I'm asking purely from a data corruption and bitrot standpoint. There's no security requirements, the blocks are part of a larger data-structure (so subset of a file, or maybe a raw block device). CRC is common for smaller data structures, but 4MB is "large" compared to, say, Postgres data page (which are "usually 8kB"), which uses some (modified?) form of CRC16
