- boring_twenties 6y agoAFAIK, none of those support ECC RAM, making them eminently unsuitable for serious storage.
- j45 6y agoECC ram is definitely a consideration. I've appreciated having it when it was around. The needs of each homelab can be different though. Some homelabs don't need to be that serious from a power/noise/energy cost perspective just to get ECC, unless there is an explicit benefit from it. Making do without ECC can be perfectly possible for some or most portions of a homelab.
- tuananh 6y agomost of the synology units are not using ECC. should we avoid them?
