ECC RAM vs non-ECC RAM for a secondary Plex server: ECC is a waste of money

For a secondary Plex server with a few users, ECC RAM corrects single-bit errors that matter for financial databases, not streaming video — a bit flip might cause a tiny artifact nobody will see. Paying double for that is money better spent on more storage, a faster CPU, or a bigger SSD for metadata. Your Plex library will thank you.
