Silent Data Corruption Is Real
Closed source firmware on drives contain bugs that corrupt data. Are there any drives, available anywhere, that have open source firmware?

I guess this is what ZFS is for. Don't trust the underlying storage.
But I am interested as well about your question.

Note that it's essentially a dead project. The "NEW!!!" platform mentioned on their homepage is from 2014.

Buggy SSDs certainly are a thing, mainly due to the complexity of FTL, but if you have a story of FW corrupting data on spinning rust that would be news to me.
