Hello everyone.
You guys here have already given me more detailed answers, that allowed me to learn than any other forum I've used in the past to learn about servers. Thank you so much!
Now I have a new question. I'm in the process on deciding on hardware to use in my server. It will have 2 (maybe 3) functions.
To ECC or not to ECC, that is the question. I'd like to ECC the NAS part, since I do plan on using it for storing photos I've edited for work. But I'm finding it hard to find Dual Channel ECC sticks, so if I take 2 single, identical sticks, will/can they run in Dual Channel mode?
I know ECC wouldn't be needed for a Windows 10 Pro VM that's simply just for playing games and mocking around with, so if I do equip ECC for the VM, can I then equip non-ECC in the other channel and pass that through to the VM?
Best regards and thank you for all the help I've recieved so far.

- Function as a NAS.
- Run Plex Media Server and Handshake.
- (Maybe) Run a VM with Windows 10 Pro to my TV.
