If you want ZFS you need lots of expensive ECC RAM. (...) The rule of the thumb is that you typically need about 16GB of RAM to begin with ZFS and then about 1-2 GB for each additional TB of data.

Ugh.. can someone please tell me who started this ZFS-ECC-UBER-RAM fetish? Whenever I read anything about ZFS, some gollum first has to scream at me how superimportant a ridiculous amount of ram (especially ecc-ram) is. Why? Who said so? When?
