Ignorant person question here: “why they make NAS servers without ECC memory?”

[dylan604]

non-ECC is cheaper. i can't think of any other possible reason. anything else would be a lie to cover up being cheap

[bongodongobob]

Because they barely do anything. It's like like there's 4TB of RAM in there churning away at multiple databases. It's debatable if you even need it in enterprise servers.

You absolutely, positively, 100% need it on anything that carries data you care about. I personally consider it a hard requirement for a NAS. I don't want to lose data just because a cosmic ray flipped a bit somewhere.
