The frame sizes are small, the likelihood of collisions being contained inside is also small, so you're going to need some really out there corruption to get a checksum that is corrupted to match the corrupted data.
This isn't present on drives themselves, though. File checksums aren't stored in the partition table (generally) and even if they are, that'll only tell you that a file is now corrupted.
This isn't comparable to TCP. TCP is a transport protocol. It ensures that the data gets to the destination intact.
