Hi I am using MD5 for my personal collection . I have some unique dump files . I am copying them to external harddrives for backup purpose . But before I copy them sometimes problems happening on my main machine like shut downs , freezes , etc . So basically I don't have any security concerns . My whole question about data corruption . Am I safe ? Is MD5 is enough for data corruption . Even after shut downs if MD5 hashes same , those files will be corrupt ? Thanks for the all answers .
