- jmalicki 4mo agoIf you have ECC memory, you can actually monitor this. I've typically seen ~a dozen bitflips per year per machine when I looked at this on servers, except for the cases of a faulty RAM module. I am more worried about SSD corruption than RAM bitflips from data I've seen on my systems.
