After I had a reckoning with bitrot, would muchly recommend to use something with ECC memory for NAS. And a checksumming filesystem with periodic scrubing that won't get corrupt on you silently.
Same, but I also discovered a wonderful bonus in the difference between True ECC DDR5 and just the on chip BS stuff.
ECC DDR5 boots insanely fast since the BIOS can quickly verify the tune passes. This is even true when doing your initial adjustment / verification of manufacturer spec.
SnapRAID is awesome, it's been bulletproof in recovering multiple failed drives for me, but note that you have to have your sync and scrub operations appropriately configured to get bitrot protection.
