The specs of the mobo say "8 x DIMM, Max. 64GB, DDR3 2133(O.C.)/2000(O.C.)/1866(O.C.)/1600/1333/1066 MHz ECC, Non-ECC, Un-buffered Memory
Quad Channel Memory Architecture". I thought this meant that it only supports Non-ECC memory?

Also can I apply raid 1 with 1 SDD and one HDD? And is an SSD in a server worth it?

The mobo, or better to say the cpu supports ECC and non-ECC memory. The typical memory on this mobo would be registered or unregistered ECC. As far as i know, with only one cpu, you can only use 4 of the slots, because they are chained to the cpu memory controllers.
A SSD is definitely worth it, because it will speed up the system significantly. Instead i would question the riad1. In my opinion a raid1 only makes sense in a data center, where a spare disk is always on hand in case of raid failure. A raid1 is worth nothing, if you don't have a spare disk and doesn't replace a proper backup in any way.
