Two of the latest arrivals to my lab — a couple of 1TB Barracuda ES2 (Enterprise SATA 2) drives from Seagate — got me to thinking about a growing problem in the enterprise, namely, that our voracity ...
The table shows a tiny message of 6 bits with 4 parity bits. The matrix below the data show the bits used in calculating the parity bits. The calculated bits are appended to the data. As you can see ...
ECC adds multiple parity bits, though calculations are usually applied to complete words (typically 32 or 64 bits), not single bytes. Each ECC bit represents the parity of a different subset of the ...
As useful as a NAS can be, it's also hardware that's really expensive to set up—a good NAS with several terabytes of storage ...
An error detection technique that tests the integrity of digital data in the computer. Parity checking adds an extra parity cell to each 8-bit byte of memory, thus ...
