- magicalhippo 2y agoA flakey power supply can lead to all sorts of weird errors, so just wanted to add that caveat. And I never said to not have backups. If a memory stick goes bad, you might need to restore. I just think claiming no ECC = data gone is spreading FUD. You can find plenty of anecdotes like mine around. It's not like I have a unicorn NAS. Again sure, if you want to minimize data loss then use ECC. But for a lot of folks, using regular, good non-ECC hardware can be perfectly fine.
