LS,

My Setup:
FreeNAS 11.3-Release
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 3950x
Mobo: ASrock x570 Creator (Latest bios 2.10, ECC enabled in settings)
Memory: 4 x Kingston KSM26ED8/16ME (ECC)" (64 GB total)

According to AMD the AM4 socket does support ECC but it does not support ECC error reporting function.

Is this important for FreeNAS to correctly correct errors? As far as I understand it, without ECC error reporting there is no way for the administrator to check if ECC is properly functioning. If correct is this something we should avoid?

Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

Kind regards
