Soyoustart E3/E5 ECC vs not ECC statistics

Geekoine

I think that currently the majority of E3 and E5 SYS server is equipped with ECC RAM, but it's better to ask

I'd assume that they will be sticking to ECC RAM since it's cheaper to get used parts. Non-ECCs are more expensive most of the time.

I hope so:-)

My two SYS E3 servers (1245v2) came with NON-ECC RAM. One received 4 months, the other 3 days ago.

Let's say, 4x8GB ECC memory is about $70 on ebay, while 4x8GB desktop memory is about $120. If I'm going to do server business I'd never go with desktop grade since it's more expensive.

EDIT: Well, I could be wrong.
