TCP has a checksum for packet loss, and TLS protects against MITM.
I've always found this aspect of S3's design questionable. Sending both a content-md5 AND a x-amz-content-sha256 header and taking up gobs of compute in the process, sheesh...
It's also part of the reason why running minio in its single node single drive mode is a resource hog.
