true. Furthermore, much so-called consumer hardware is very good these days. My guess is ZFS should work quite reliably on that hardware. (i.e. non ECC memory should work fine!) / mirroring is a -must- !
No, ECC memory is a must too. ZFS checksumming verifies and corrects data read back from a disk, but once it is read from disk it is stashed in memory for your application to use - without ECC you erode confidence that what you read from memory is correct.
