Agree. Didn’t even see ECC discussed.

Apparently this board supports ecc with this chip: Supermicro X13SAE W680 LGA1700 ATX Motherboard

Costs 550.

One option is building around that and having some pcie 4.0 to nvme boards hosting as many nvme drives as needed. Not cheap though but around home affordable.

You need workstation chipsets to have ECC on intel desktop CPUs.

And yes they start at around 500.

If you go back a few generations, the C246 chipset can be had on boards costing 200, and if you pair it with an i3-9100T you get ECC as well as pretty damn low power usage.

[ianai]

You are limited to pcie 3.0 speeds there though. But good suggestion.

That's true, but if your goal is low power, that's not necessarily going to be a bottleneck - even if you dedicate all 16 PCIe lanes to NVMe storage it's going to be more than fast enough for 99% of home server needs.
