I hear about ECC since 15 years now but I have yet to encounter a case where I had data corruption (on any machine ECC or not).
It's not that I don't believe, but the occurrence seems to be ultra rare.
- vaxman 6y agoThe Sun was in a relative quiet period for most of those 15 years. Intel removed ECC from the consumer products to keep businesses from buying them --they didn't count on an entire generation of Computer Scientists being wiped out in the dot-com crash and the replacements getting lucky while not knowing any better. All of the great masters (cough) know better, such as the architects of AWS (it is 100% ECC), Microsoft, Apple and other environments that were less affected by the loss of key personnel to the Crash. But keep down votin' --love it!
