Post by Dennis BoonePost by Gareth EvansHas the need for such provisions now gone the way of
the dinosaurs, possibly because of the reliability
of VERY large scale integration?
You don't want to know how many corrected errors your memory system
doesn't tell you about. Or your disk drive. Or for that matter,
probably how many undetected errors just pass silently.
We are not aware of any undetected errors in our systems.
At least, none that youâve been detected ;-)
Incidentally a disk drive will tell you how many errors it has
corrected. And if it gets them regularly it will map out a track. On
a modern drive you're not in trouble until it runs out of spares.
Indeed. On my spinning rust drive:
