Thinking a Duo for backup duties?
Thinking of a 2d Duo(V1) for backup duties. Have 3 offers from newegg, but all have different warranty claims. Can anyone confirm differences? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.a ... 68221220...

Has that really happened? I thought since this is the only main memory of the NAS box this kind of errors should show up pretty quickly.
Especially if you follow the guidelines that were set up during the time where this was officially tolerated (I think it wasn't really supported officially at any point).
These guidelines said you should run a full memory test after installing the RAM.
While theoretically corrupted files might still happen it's way more likely to fail in some of the operating system's low-level processes.
At least on the computers with defunct and/or incompatible RAM I've seen in the past 10 years since I work with computers, memtest has always shown errors and the operating system itself failed way before any critical damage was done to my systems.
