Support for Error Detection and Correction in ECC Unbuffered Memory: Does Unraid OS Kernel Handle It?


Recommended Posts

Unraid 6.12.10


Hello,

I'm considering ECC Unbuffered memory due to the inability to use ECC Reg memory.

While ECC Reg memory is commonly understood to internally detect and correct errors, it's my understanding that ECC Unbuffered memory, lacking an embedded memory controller, requires external hardware or operating system support for error detection and correction.

I'm curious whether the Unraid OS kernel includes support for error detection and correction in ECC Unbuffered memory.

Any insights on this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

P.S. keep in mind that some desktop boards "support unbuffered ECC", meaning they can post with, but they will be used as regular RAM, so make sure the chipset and CPU you are using have real ECC support:
