That paper sounds like problems that can not be worked around in software and need hardware fixes?

You could work around it (erasure coding, fe), if you had insights on the failure mode specifics, but it's vendor specific and vendors are not exactly forthcoming.

So the only thing you can do is add checksumming schemes that allow you to detect you have been affected.

The paper is from 2013, so the situation might have improved meanwhile (I wouldn't put any money on it)
