Here is an interesting video about computer bit flipping. And yes, cosmic rays.
I'm using a NAS with ZFS file system and ECC RAM for close to 5 years now (if not more), and I gotta say so far so good. To be fair the chances of a disk failure, even multi-disk failures are far, far, far higher than the chance of random bit flipping.
But hey we audiophiles are always striving for perfection. I want to ensure not only my music library, but also my family photos are preserved properly for years and years and years to come. A bit suss because this means my backup has to be ZFS and ECC protected too (i.e. I cannot just back up my contents to a USB HDD/SSD and be done with it).
