How does bitrot protection actually work?
I understand the concept, but am curious how it is actually implemented on 6.2.0

Does that include RAID10 as like what I have on my RN516 with 6 x 4TB.
Or are you talking about RAID5 and RAID6 only.
By default the bitrot protection (BRP) on my RN516 is OFF.
I assumed that as the button was there, it was supported regardless of RAID although it MAY not make sense for certain RAID levels.
I was trying to clarify whether RAID-10 has redundancy in the way you mean it, and hence it is a good thing to have BRP ON.
Perhaps that is the question to be answered :)
