DNA information in our bodies is constantly being checked, and if necessary, repaired; that way the redundancy provided by the double part of "double helix" does in fact become a very high degree of fault tolerance (and correction.) Maybe it's time to imitate nature, and to decide that constant inspection and repair are part of the storage task. This would mean that nearly all faults were detected and corrected before the information was requested, as with DNA.
