In my case I've got a large amount of ram (128GB) and run many virtual machines for various purposes, along with that I've got 24TB of drives hooked up with ZFS running to back up those virtual machines, family photos and movies, etc. Being able to know that an error has happened and it's been corrected or handled appropriately (even killing the system and needing a reboot is appropriate) so that data isn't destroyed is a good thing for me.
