I thought something like this should be part of the file system to make it even more laborious to by pass

A company I was at had a disk array that would do something like this. It wasn't a documented feature mind you. During writes, it would randomly zero out data within a file. So at least it didn't get progressively worse, but it was a bear to isolate. These were large media files so a quick look at the head/middle/tail could easily miss the problem areas.
