  ZFS can store multiple copies of data block within one disk. Using
your words, it's like "Intra-Disk-RAID1". After reading data, when
checksum shows it's corrupted, another copy (hopefully correct) is read
from other disk location.
  This is adding security by the price of half storage capacity. Which
seems like a fair game, given todays 1,5TB HDDs.
