Unless you turn checksuming off. From zfs(1M):

checksum=on | off | fletcher2, | fletcher4 | sha256
Controls the checksum used to verify data integrity. The default value is “on”, which automatically selects an appropriate algorithm (currently, fletcher2, but this may change in future releases). The value “off” disables integrity checking on user data. Disabling checksums is NOT a recommended practice.
