I do wish I'd gone for ECC in my server, the memory is definitely a weak point. It is all very well having ZFS, but I could still get memory corruption and therefore end up with corrupted data carefully written to all three of my mirrored drives.

ZFS does matter in my opinion, you don't get the checksumming peace of mind with plain RAID.
