You could use something other than md5sum, such as sha256sum in the same manner.
Using strong crypto would probably be overkill for this particular use-case.
Those are just hashes, and I already know that whatever internal crc the drive uses has missed a single bit error, so I'm settling for nothing less than a byte for byte comparison :) (there is less than 200MB of data there, so a comparison isn't expensive in any way) James
