> but unless you're looking at an ECC appliance, I'd say you're better off building your own white box.

Synology actually allows ECC DRAM and even sells it and list which models would accept them.

But yeah, at the price of a full featured model with an x86 CPU and SO/DIMM RAM and 4+ drives you are in the territory of building your own, with a lot more of control and without DSM (in Synology case) shenanigans.

EDIT: actually the biggest problem here is actually finding a good case, because even ATX cases now usually don't have more than 2-3 3.5" bays by default and often don't have 5.25" at all.
