@BLKMGK - I had bad RAM Dec 2011 that ultimately resulted in a corrupted filesystem on my old RAID5 and loss of data - memtest lit up like an Xmas tree. Therefore, new build was going to have ECC.
I use several flavours of hypervisors at work, and may try them out on the homefront at some point as well, but for now I'll just stick with the simple setup.
I did have one bum backplane on my Norco RPC-4224. Things seem to have stabilized after that point and 2 of the 10 initial HDD's were RMA'd...those drives had bad / pending sectors that were caught on READ's, failed SMARTCTL tests brutally. I did actually run the unRAID preclear thrice on each of these 10 drives too, but it took until 300 hours for both drives to fail.
