Did you ever get ECC corrected error?


Several dozen corrected bit-flips a year. I've seen stats that one can expect 1 bit-flip/gigabyte/month for a server that running a full load. You'd be crazy not to use ECC memory for production work.

Here's a paper about it: http://www.cs.toronto.edu/~bianca/papers/sigmetrics09.pdf


Thanks a lot for that statistics!
