ECC Ram is important, and most laptops don't have it. Just because you don't see...

That's a good point, for oriented production stuff especially.

Maybe not as important for homelab style things though.

Even homelab, I keep my life's photos in a Nas and a single bit flip can make any picture unreadable.

The probability of a bit errors is not low, and if you keep data for a decade, it gets bad

> Even homelab > I keep my life's photos ...

To me, those should be two different categories.

* Homelab -> experimentation

* "My life's photos" -> production

But I guess that's just arguing over semantics at this point. :)
