    I always heard the first rule as “stay grounded”. Having 1TB of RAM on stock just in case sounds not grounded.

    A spare kit or two should be enough for most folks. With one or two spares of everything else so you can test suspicious parts separate from prod.

    A bit of redundancy and foresight is good but no need to be excessive about it.
