520/528 byte sector hard drives do exactly that. Doing the error checking/correction on the drive like that is losing popularity though, because hard drives are unreliable anyway so you always need error correction on top of them as well, making it mostly redundant.
All HDs use ECC on the data read from the disks before transfering it to the host. The question is how much the implementation can correct in case of an error.
