Lost faith in my system (Data Integrity)

[PiKe]

On my work machine I have had problems recently, seemingly started by installing an SSD drive, which caused everything to go to hell. My RAID failed and therefore started to rebuild, then windows was unable to write to the SSD at all then it brought the entire system down, massive data corruption occurred and I ended up restoring from backups.

I've since sent the SSD back for a refund, but, today I've noticed lots of warnings in the event log to do with errors being detected when paging to the drive, I'm starting to really worry about the integrity of my data, I have over 181GB of JPEGS with some 8000 hours work put into them (Photoshop etc).

I have several backups but how can I be sure that gradual corruption isn't occurring, I can't visually check every single JPEG every time I back up.

Please help

the only way to put your mind at rest - in my view - would be to try and remove all data from the system, run hdd tune to check all is well, format, and then rebuild from the backups. Time consuming i know, but at least then you'll know for sure.

I tried running WD Lifeguard Tool's but whilst the drives are in a RAID they won't be detected which is annoying.

Run all your jpeg files through a MD5 sums generator , then when you copy them / backup run them new copies through again and the sums should match, if not you may have corruption.

Also, you can RAR/PAR your files into batches, if you are archiving, these can resist bit errors, and can repair them selves.
