I just don't have the same level of trust in HW. My priors include a bunch of dead hard drives and a few bad sticks of RAM, all of which caused significant subtle damage before the big catastrophic failure that drew attention. None of these were ECC or RAID, but I've also seen enough foot-guns with ECC and RAID to place the probability of "solution degraded to consumer reliability" considerably north of zero.
