The fact is that the error rate specification has not significantly tightened even as the volumes of data has risen by orders of magnitude. This has already created some big problems for SAN designers but at least they are aware of it. Small business and home users are not aware of it, and don't even know that its causing them problems.
The specification needs to be tightened, and new operating systems and file systems need to take into account that these errors must be dealt with in a better fashion than what we see today.
