The issue isn't that somehow the 7100U vs 7100 is some fundamental design decision that didn't include ECC support, its that Intel had a chip where ECC was supported, then disabled it.

Its not because they are "very different processors".

The 7100U is a BGA laptop processor. You're not in danger of accidentally buying a 7100U to put into your NAS.

If you look at the products that are actually compatible with your system, it's not confusing at all. Pentium/Celeron/i3/Xeon = has ECC, i5/i7 = no ECC.
