So I built my first NAS with older equipment. But I also have an X570 Asus MOBO and a 3700 cpu, so I was thinking of upgrading my setup to use the newer equipment. But I'm not taking any RAM away from my dasily driver and the older system is DDR2 or whatever came before I built stuff.
So somewhere along the many many many videos and web pages I've been reading I thought I saw that goiing ECC is the better way to go for your homebrew NAS, that it kept the data from getting corrupted somehow?? Is this correct, and since it seems tro be easy to keep the ram cost under $100, how much ram should I go with? Is 32 Gb enouigh, should I aim higher? I only have 4 slots, so I'd rather plan ahead on this part, I don't want to be trying to sell off ram to upgrade.
Thanks for any assistance. (I tried doing a search on this forum for "ecc ram, ddr3 ecc ram but it wasn't happy with my search)
