Yeah ECC RAM is great in general but there’s nothing about ZFS that likes ECC more than any other thing you do on your computer. You are not totally safe from bit flips unless every machine in the transaction has ECC RAM. Your workstation could flip a bit on a file as it’s sending it to your ZFS pool, and your ECC’d ZFS pool will hold that bit flip as gospel.
