Comment on Cheapest 14x4tb NAS
Onomatopoeia@lemmy.cafe 1 day agoI’ve never run into issues running desktop hardware without ECC as servers - since the 90’s.
I just don’t think the extra cost is worthwhile - I’m not running systems/services that will have catastrophic failures without ECC (or have weird bitflips that would corrupt some transaction).

I’ve never ran into issues either, but generally in any situation where data integrity is somewhat important, ECC is a very good idea. Its never a problem until suddenly it is.
I don’t give a crap about my Minecraft server having ECC, but a storage server where cached data gets written to disk, I’d rather have ECC ensure nothing gets corrupted.
