Does anyone have any recommendations for checksumming algorithms in greenfield systems? It seems like there’s lots of innovation in crypto secure hashing functions. But I have a greenfield project where I need checksums but don’t care about crypto properties. Is CRC32c still a good choice or has the industry moved on?

What are your requirements? Tamper resistance? Error detection? Error correction? Speed vs time vs space trade off?
Just error detection for corrupt or partial disk writes.
