I fell for the ECC myth as well when using ZFS on XigmaNAS, but got schooled here on HN a while back: https://jrs-s.net/2015/02/03/will-zfs-and-non-ecc-ram-kill

- karatestomp 7y agoZFS without ECC may not be any worse than any other filesystem without ECC, but it's still nice to have on a system you want to run all the time and deal with your files.
