Q70 / 100
What is the purpose of "ECC" (Error-Correcting Code) memory?
Correct! Well done.
Incorrect.
The correct answer is A) It can detect and automatically correct certain types of memory errors (such as single-bit errors caused by electrical noise or radiation), improving data integrity, especially important in servers
A
Correct Answer
It can detect and automatically correct certain types of memory errors (such as single-bit errors caused by electrical noise or radiation), improving data integrity, especially important in servers
Explanation
ECC memory adds extra bits used to detect and correct single-bit (and detect some multi-bit) errors, reducing the risk of data corruption from transient memory errors — commonly used in servers and critical systems.
