Ecc ram advice

[Enquiries]

Hi,
I got an TVS-h674-i5-32G with stock ram, 32 GB SODIMM DDR4 (2 x 16 GB).
Other specs: 2 nvme 1TB in raid 1 for system/apps. 3 hdd 8TB in raid 5 for archive, images and films that I can't lose. I also use it as a plex server. Finally an 8TB external drive as backup.

I've been thinking about upgrading the Ram to an Ecc model, not sure it's worth it but I feel better safe than sorry. Not using that much ram as of yet so don't think I need more than 32GB.
So the question is, what ram do you recommend?
Don't mind a few options if you can of course.

If I upgrade.. Can it be swapped without formatting or anything? (like PCs, generally best to go fresh after upgrades). Gearing up the system so I'm not too experienced with NAS systems yet.
Thanks in advance for any advice.

Unfortunately, the Intel® Core™ i5-12400 processor does not support ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory. While the 12th Gen Intel Core processors themselves can technically support ECC, this feature is only available on specific chipsets like the Intel® W680, which is typically used in workstation motherboards.

Since the i5-12400 is paired with a more standard chipset, it won’t work with ECC memory, even if you install it in your system. To use ECC, you would need to look into either a different processor or a motherboard that explicitly supports ECC functionality.
