I have 2 hdds that i use for long term storage, i the past other hardrives had corrupted pictures and did not know why.

I want to check data integrity. I understand i need to create the hash for the hdd and periodically check it.

Is there an easy straight forward way?

Should i get software that checks 2 hardrives against each other, or copies to 2 hdds at a time? If so, which are they?
