is nci.com hey guys I'm here at the

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,840
transcend booth and while they weren't sure exactly of what new announcements

5
00:00:16,480 --> 00:00:20,840
they might have for computex I did notice they had server memory modules

6
00:00:19,600 --> 00:00:26,359
and while we're just over at plexor and I talked about how we used their Drive in our server I thought I would cover

7
00:00:23,519 --> 00:00:30,880
ECC memory modules so ECC memory modules stands for error correcting code

8
00:00:28,279 --> 00:00:35,440
function support or ECC kind of drop off the function support there it's just ECC

9
00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:39,200
basically what that does is as data runs through your RAM it could have errors in

10
00:00:37,239 --> 00:00:42,920
it and usually the errors aren't big enough for your computer to really care

11
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:45,600
if you're just doing like very basic applications but on a server they have

12
00:00:44,640 --> 00:00:50,760
to really really make sure that everything is very proper maybe one flipped bit on your computer you will

13
00:00:49,079 --> 00:00:54,440
never notice but in a server you actually might that could be a really

14
00:00:52,160 --> 00:00:57,520
big deal so they have a correcting modules that will double check

15
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:01,199
everything and make sure it's all proper we are running that in our server

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:04,479
currently we will we were not before and we did actually have some problems with

17
00:01:02,760 --> 00:01:08,520
our database before we were running ECC memory so if you've been looking at

18
00:01:06,360 --> 00:01:12,680
memory in the past we're maybe wondering what that little nomenclature was ECC

19
00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:16,439
stands for error correcting error correcting code I forgot what that last

20
00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:20,560
word was sorry about that thanks for watching our transcend content if you want to see all of our comex content
