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

00:00:11.920 --> 00:00:17.840
transcend booth and while they weren't sure exactly of what new announcements

00:00:16.480 --> 00:00:20.840
they might have for computex I did notice they had server memory modules

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

00:00:23.519 --> 00:00:30.880
ECC memory modules so ECC memory modules stands for error correcting code

00:00:28.279 --> 00:00:35.440
function support or ECC kind of drop off the function support there it's just ECC

00:00:33.280 --> 00:00:39.200
basically what that does is as data runs through your RAM it could have errors in

00:00:37.239 --> 00:00:42.920
it and usually the errors aren't big enough for your computer to really care

00:00:41.200 --> 00:00:45.600
if you're just doing like very basic applications but on a server they have

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

00:00:49.079 --> 00:00:54.440
never notice but in a server you actually might that could be a really

00:00:52.160 --> 00:00:57.520
big deal so they have a correcting modules that will double check

00:00:55.680 --> 00:01:01.199
everything and make sure it's all proper we are running that in our server

00:00:59.120 --> 00:01:04.479
currently we will we were not before and we did actually have some problems with

00:01:02.760 --> 00:01:08.520
our database before we were running ECC memory so if you've been looking at

00:01:06.360 --> 00:01:12.680
memory in the past we're maybe wondering what that little nomenclature was ECC

00:01:10.680 --> 00:01:16.439
stands for error correcting error correcting code I forgot what that last

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
