SK0-004 · Question #107

A technician is concerned about memory data corruption in a server. Which of the following memory types should be considered?

The correct answer is D. ECC. ECC memory is the correct choice for preventing memory data corruption because it can automatically detect and correct bit-level errors before they affect the system.

Why each option

ECC memory is the correct choice for preventing memory data corruption because it can automatically detect and correct bit-level errors before they affect the system.

AStatic

Static RAM (SRAM) is used for CPU cache memory and does not include error-correction circuitry for main system memory.

BSDRAM

SDRAM is a standard synchronous DRAM type with no built-in error-detection or correction mechanism.

CDynamic

Dynamic RAM is the general category covering most main system memory but does not inherently include error-correcting features without ECC specifically.

DECCCorrect

ECC (Error-Correcting Code) memory uses additional parity bits to detect single-bit errors and correct them in real time, and can detect most multi-bit errors before they cause data corruption. This capability is essential in server environments where silent data corruption can lead to system instability or data loss. No other memory type listed provides this active error-correction capability.
