What Is Ecc Memory?

## Answers

### Answer by Hitesh Vohra

- **ECC [memory](https://answers.mindstick.com/qa/96701/explain-about-different-types-of-memory-in-operating-system)** is a type of RAM memory that can be found in workstations and servers. Professionals and enterprises with sensitive data appreciate it for its capacity to detect and rectify memory faults automatically, preventing data damage.
- It's also expected to result in fewer server/workstation crashes as compared to non-ECC memory, making it very appealing to IT professionals and enterprises, such as financial institutions and public cloud service providers, where data corruption and outages are major problems.
- Because ECC memory is designed for enterprise applications, most consumer PC motherboards either don't support it or run it without it.
