ECC Ram is important, and most laptops don't have it. Just because you don't see bit errors doesn't mean it doesn't happens. Specially in a 16gb of RAM laptop, that thing is pretty much sensible.
- justinclift 3y agoThat's a good point, for oriented production stuff especially. Maybe not as important for homelab style things though.
- frankreyes 3y agoEven homelab, I keep my life's photos in a Nas and a single bit flip can make any picture unreadable. The probability of a bit errors is not low, and if you keep data for a decade, it gets bad https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/497044/what-is-the-probability-of-a-bit-error-occurring-in-modern-computers#497099 https://electronics.stackexchange.com/questions/497044/what-...
- grocketeer 3y agoThis is good to know. Thank you for the reference
- justinclift 3y ago> Even homelab > I keep my life's photos ... To me, those should be two different categories. * Homelab -> experimentation * "My life's photos" -> production But I guess that's just arguing over semantics at this point. :)
