Without ECC I’d be wary of catastrophic data corruption on that rig. It’s laptop parts in a tiny desktop case. There’s a reason all us Enterprise(TM) types shell out for “real servers”, and it’s not because we’re stupid or enamored with the vendor’s ability to pay for rounds of golf.
- dismalpedigree 4y agoYes. If i was running mission critical systems it would be another story. In this case i have triple backups so worst case I take some downtime. Still easier (and faster) than running the same servers on AWS, which is where I migrated them from.
- otabdeveloper4 4y agoRun a proper high-load high-availability architecture instead. You'd need it anyways and it will turn out cheaper in the end.
- tatersolid 4y agoYou misunderstand the impact of silent RAM errors; when the data is corrupted in RAM then written to disk you have persistent, unrecoverable data corruption. Your backups are also corrupt and no common HA mechanism will even detect the failure unless it causes a crash. This sort of memory corruption happens in the real world and is often written off as software bugs.
