Worse than a game crash is your data.

It is incomprehensible that there are still NAS devices being sold without ECC support.

Synology took a step in the right direction to offer prosumer devices with ECC but it is not really advertised as such. It is actually difficult to find which do have ECC and which ones don't.

I just look it up because if it was true it would have been news to me. Synology have been known to be stingy with Hardware Spec. But none of what I called Prosumer, the Plus Series have ECC memory by default. And there are "Value" and "J" Series below that.

Edit: Only two model from the new xx21 series using AMD Ryzen V has ECC memory by default.

Blame Intel for that. They dropped support for ECC RAM on the new Celerons and i3s.
