ECC
(Error-Correcting Code)
Error-Correcting Code (ECC) is a type of memory technology used to detect and correct data corruption in real-time. ECC is commonly used in servers, workstations, and critical systems where data integrity is paramount.
ECC memory works by adding extra bits to data to identify and fix single-bit errors and detect multi-bit errors. This reduces the risk of system crashes and data corruption, making ECC essential for applications like financial transactions, scientific computing, and database management. While ECC memory is more expensive than non-ECC memory, its reliability makes it a preferred choice for mission-critical systems.
