Just finished the last steps. … well, hardware wise … well, except drives.
Added the bar with a 120mm fan from my The Collector build (not a 140mm, remembered that wrong) and updated the BIOS to 4011. I had a weird issue before that the system clearly identified 4x8gigs but was like “yeah, that adds up to 16… of course”. Now it works out and the full capacity is available.
OK @Pholostan, I found this and this to be helpful for the ECC thing. EDAC says DRAM ECC enabled, dmidecode says it is working and lshw did so as well. So I have no reason to believe otherwise. … and I’m not taking a heatgun to it. 
Come on man, that’s just bad taste.
alright, enough jokes

Thanks everyone for the names. I had quite a few good laughs. 
@nx2l almost nailed it pretty early on. FlashGordon is really good, it is so dumb, I love it.
@Big_Al_Tech was also close with Nasgûl.
But I also liked the idea of just calling NASty. And I will go with that.
So I have to thank @Leon_the_Loner for his suggestion that I just modified.
NAMING IS OVER! THANKS EVERYONE!
I checked the warranty on the Crucial and it has the same 5 years limited.
So the Samsung drives seem to have no advantage.
Probably gonna order drives next week.

Have you had any problems with your system crashing while idle? I have a similar build as yours:
Ryzen 3 1200
Asus Prime X370 Pro
2 x 16GB Crucial ECC DDR4-2400
Mellanox MCX311A SFP+ 10Gbe NIC
Corsair CX450M/EVGA G3 550 (crashes with both)
WD 512GB m.2 PCIe/ADATA 128GB ASX6000 boot drive (crashes with both)
3 x 6TB WD Black RAIDZ1
Ubuntu 16.04
However, the longest time I’ve gone without the system crashing is a little over a week. This system is mostly idle.
There are long discussions about this issue at:
I’m not gonna use linux on this machine unfortunately. I need working TRIM support and as far as I can see FreeNAS is my only real option for that.
Only thing I would suggest is to disable C-States in the UEFI.
Sorry. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
There’s actually a long FreeNAS thread about this issue as well:
One guy resolved the issue by installing a crypto mining plugin so that the CPU was never idle.
People have tried fiddling with C-states but that doesn’t seem to have worked.

Well, I will see how it goes. Thanks for the heads up.

Also touching the topic of idle time: have you measured the power consumption during standby, idle and use?
I was planning to build a NAS soon, but I somewhat care about any kind of resource efficiency, so that would be interesting to know.
Do you think it would be possible to have some kind of WakeOnLan setup in which the machine is mostly in standby and only waking up on demand / going to sleep after ~5m of idle time?
