In my experience, database corruption always comes down to flaky disk drives.
Keep your disks new and shiny eg. less than 3 years, and go for some kind of
redundancy in a RAID configuration.

also, ECC RAM so creeping bit rot doesn't slip in from memory without detection. if you use a raid controller with a write-back cache, be sure it has BBU or flash-back.
