Comment on Best "bang for your buck" NUC/Pi setup for Jellyfin/HomeAssistant/PiHole?
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 12 hours agoFor business, ECC is definitely required. I really don’t see it needed for home use.
I’ve never run it for home boxes - I’ve had a Windows domain at home since the 90’s using desktop hardware and it’s as stable as any SMB I’ve seen running on enterprise-grade hardware.

I switched to ECC only for my home server over 10 years ago after a silent ram error corrupted some data on my raid drives. I didn’t realize there was a problem until I went to look at an old photo and it was corrupted.
“8 percent of the DIMMs saw correctable error per year”
And this was from 20 years ago when memory density was much less so the chance of an error was lower.

@Blue_Morpho @Onomatopoeia Hm, is that something that snapraid scrub would theoretically catch? I'm thinking probably not, as the corruption would likely happen when initially writing the files, rather than after the files have been sitting around on disk for a while.
