Hi,

If you are using InnoDB, then it will maintain checksums for each page of data. When InnoDB reads the data from disk, then it will verify that data matches the checksums. If it doesn't then InnoDB will complain into the error log and shutdown.

MyISAM doesn't do anything like to prevent data corruption from being introduced by the hardware/OS.
