Yeah, I remember reading that a few years ago.

If I were running a server farm or something, then yeah, I'd probably use ECC memory, but I think if you're running a home server, then the argument that ZFS necessitates ECC more than Ext4 or Btrfs or XFS or whatever doesn't really seem to be accurate.

Agreed.

Then you should still use ECC RAM, regardless of what filesystem you're using.

No, really. ECC matters (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=25622322) generally.

Fair enough, though AFAIK none of the SBC systems out there have ECC, and I generally use SBCs due to the low power consumption.
