If your memory is error-free already, you'll be fine.

If it's imperfect, ZFS will occasionally calculate a checksum wrong and write this to all drives in the array. At some point in the future, like when you read the file, the checksum will fail on all drives and the whole file will be marked corrupt. This gets annoying fast.

Your memory is not error-free, but it might be close enough.
