So I'm putting together a freeNAS box using Intel's
S1200V3RPL, M1015, and 32GB ECC RAM (8x4TB drives). As I was reading through the ECC vs non-ECC debate, my understanding is that ECC is critical due to data being stored in RAM *prior* to being written to disk. To that end, all my client machines are typical Windows desktops - non-ECC RAM. If a file is created/downloaded and saved to FreeNAS via SMB, is that almost like having non-ECC RAM in my NAS?
I realize this is probably one-in-a-billion, it's mostly just an exercise to see if I understand how ZFS works (and interacts with the network stack). Thanks!
