My understanding is that some significant (thousands of bytes) silent corruption is inevitable when you start reaching huge capacities over long-ish periods of time; even cosmic radiation has the potential to flip a few bits here and there every once in a while.

So, yes, I think even with the best hardware, and proper maintenance, seeing some data repaired in a scrub is to be expected.

(That said, I did spend way too long using technology [SATA PM] that often failed and made it impossible for me to run a scrub. It's very possible that normal error rates are more like what I'm seeing now, a single byte every month or so, and that the megabyte figure is representative of errors from the days of my arrays dropping out unexpectedly.)
