I have a primary freenas with 8 GB memory and a backup freenas replicated by rsync. The usage is just for home use1-2 users. I have read how there is risks of losing data without ecc ram but i was wondering if I really needed ECC ram or if i should put it into battery backup so it can shut down gracefully if there is a power outage(assuming the ups will work that was with freenas). i would prefer to minimize how much more money i spend to get these up and running.
Should i replace the 8 gb of memory in each freenas (total 16 gb) and buy ECC ram?
