I watched the full video. It was long but very informative. The humor at times made up for the length and the presenter showed a lot of deep knowledge that most people won't have. My biggest gripe is that they just didn't try replacing the RAM sticks in the first place. I get that they wanted to do a root cause analysis, but geez the time and patience they had to do all those memory tests. No wonder they did a video about it, cause otherwise that lost time would have been painful. I was baffled as well that dd and ddrescue work differently in how they utilize the RAM. Caught me offguard.
Onto the discussion of ECC RAM. In a perfect world, all memory would be ECC... but try finding some high performance 16GB sticks of ECC DDR4 RAM like what you'll see on gaming computers. I don't even think they make anything comparable in terms of speed and definitely not costs. I guess you don't really know that you needed ECC until it's too late.
