i haven't had a rack in my house in a decade... i could be persuaded though... 

 another water heater… :) 

 ryzen supports ecc 

 Need motherboard support though which is rare for consumer motherboards 

 I read up you need a ryzen pro apu 

 I have bought 2 random ASUS boards, one meant for “professional use” and one meant to be lower end (B)

Both work 

 Can you link? 

 Will do in a bit 

 It is detected as ECC too.

G series CPUs don’t support it don’t ask how I know (tried to add ECC RAM to a system with one) and it didn’t detect as ECC 

 It is supported but not “validated” (don’t blame us if it doesn’t work) for consumer platforms 

 /r/homelab sends their regards

Doesn't need to be a power hungry monster homelab though, IIRC some of the newer Lenovo thinkcentre tiny nodes support ECC and have two NVME slots 

 Yeah time to get serious about this. Gonna do a proper zfs raid and ecc setup
