It's not an enterprise environnement, i will just store movies, tons of it.
Even for personnal datas like photos and stuff, never saw a simple user
using ecc ram, especially in the windows world of gaming.
It would be safer, but not worth the money.
Driver compatibility issues, i'm currently running 4.2.5 and i already
returned 3 cards who didn't have a compatible driver (tried for one week to
run the last one with the help of highpoint support but i returned it
after, didn't want to take the chance to loose my money since the allowed
delay to return an item is not that long).
I want to run 6drives (3To each) in raid 6.
What do you mean by hotplug backplane? I googled it but it is not very
clear to me.
Because i do, if i understand what i read correctly hardware raid is
limited by the card components when my zfs raid will be limited by my cpu
and ram. I will not encrypt the data though, too much load on the cpu.

No, it doesn't. It refutes a description of a single hypothetical problem
wherein scrubbing ZFS can corrupt your data. That is to say that it makes
the case that ZFS doesn't need ECC any more than any other filesystem.
However, it doesn't need ECC any less, either. ZFS doesn't protect your
data from corruption anywhere but on the disk. If you care about the
integrity of your data, you should still use ECC RAM.
I know and i won't be using zfs on hardware raid anyway. My issue here is

I'd imagine it'd be harder to find a controller that Linux doesn't
support. How many disks do you want to include in the array? (And, yes,
most HBAs assume a hotplug backplane, not individual drive connections.)
zfs performance cost is not an issue when you have a high end desktop imo.

Sure, it's probably not. But you didn't say "not an issue," you said
you
expected better performance with ZFS.
