Last major storm I saw a significant number of single bit errors on my main server - never happened again, still using the same ram. So +1 anecdote


Is this detectable without some parity checks?


No, but ECC ram gives you _hardware_ parity checks, which is much faster and doesn’t require you to change your code.
