Why cant we get any of the new nice connectors on consumer hardware? The fact that you will have to get old enterprise hardware to get ECC and any kind of pcie drive connections apart from M2 is stupid.
- karlgkk 2y ago> you will have to get old enterprise hardware to get ECC not true. xeon workstation and a bunch of amd chips support it
- dijit 2y agoSome non-xeon chips support ECC now too, in the 12th generation and onwards. The issue in the consumer space is the motherboard support more than anything- even if your cpu supports ECC; your motherboard rarely if ever advertises support. https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-enables-ecc-on-12th-gen-core-cpus https://www.tomshardware.com/news/intel-enables-ecc-on-12th-...
- JonChesterfield 2y agoSupermicro + elderly intel i3 with ecc working running a fileserver here but neither of those vendors look like good bets for the near future. Asrock + cheap epyc seems to be the most plausible replacement when it dies.
- bjoli 2y agoI tried that AMD thing, and getting things to work properly is hard. Hardly any motherboards advertise ecc support, and getting it to work is finicky and brittle. I stopped using it on my main computer after it silently stopped working and started giving me other memory issue after an OS update.
- karlgkk 2y agoSkill issue. You had to do some actual research on the boards. I grabbed a few manuals and ended up with an asrock.
- bjoli 2y agoThis was on ASRock X570M Pro4, with a memory from the qvl. I validated that it worked, and then one day it stopped working after a system update. I gave up on ecc on AMD consumer chipsets. From what I gather it is still shaky.
- wil421 2y agoI have i3-8100 from years ago that supports it and runs my NAS just fine. Supermicro boards support the chip too.
- TomK32 2y agoYou're not a consumer if you have the need and money to buy this stuff.
- bjoli 2y agoI am not trusting my storage to something without ecc. It is as simple as that.
- fennecbutt 2y agoTotally agree and I'm still annoyed by at psu connectors. Why do motherboards still the giant clunky 24pin connector, it's just ridiculous.
