transcend booth and while they weren't sure exactly of what new announcements
they might have for computex I did notice they had server memory modules
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
ECC memory modules so ECC memory modules stands for error correcting code
function support or ECC kind of drop off the function support there it's just ECC
basically what that does is as data runs through your RAM it could have errors in
it and usually the errors aren't big enough for your computer to really care
if you're just doing like very basic applications but on a server they have
to really really make sure that everything is very proper maybe one flipped bit on your computer you will
never notice but in a server you actually might that could be a really
big deal so they have a correcting modules that will double check
everything and make sure it's all proper we are running that in our server
currently we will we were not before and we did actually have some problems with
our database before we were running ECC memory so if you've been looking at
memory in the past we're maybe wondering what that little nomenclature was ECC
stands for error correcting error correcting code I forgot what that last
word was sorry about that thanks for watching our transcend content if you want to see all of our comex content
