"One other thought, I've had some corruption issues in the past with non Adobe software created linear DNG files. I've never had an issue with DNGs converted from Adobe's own software." Agree. Somewhere, maybe in the specification, you can read that when convert from propietary raw to DNG there is a file validation. If a image file is corrupt a message is shown. Send to the trash and return to the desert in the other continent to shot again. And three month ago, all my DNG files apparently were corrupted because while editing an upgrade starts and did't reboot the PC. After reboot all the files were fine. 2013/4/29 Morgan Gordon <m_gordon@mac.com>

I just joined this list so I've missed the OP. That said, in my personal experience, Canon raw files absolutely can corrupt (and have done so on a RAID-5 using enterprise drives, too.) Always have redundant backups that you rotate a varying intervals long enough to identify corrupted data before you inadvertently propagate the corrupted files throughout your backups.

The prior poster accurately noted that file size is a variable in potential file corruption. He quoted the OP who specifically mentioned CRW as being stable. Since only the earliest Canon DSLRs used CRW, it's fair to assume that they were not large files.

Losing your work is always hard. No system is truly foolproof. For those images truly important that you don't lose, there is going to be a great amount of effort and complexity required to ensure the permanence of your data.

One other thought, I've had some corruption issues in the past with non Adobe software created linear DNG files. I've never had an issue with DNGs converted from Adobe's own software. _______________________________________________ Do not post admin requests to the list. They will be ignored.
