There's CRC-32 of course, nice and fast.  If you need longer, there's
CRC-64, don't know a good polynomial for that but I know there is one.

One possibility is x^64+x^11+x^2+x+1. However, hash127, which Jim
already mentioned, is faster in software than a heavily optimized
CRC-64, and has better error-detecting guarantees than a CRC-127.
