ECC ram can actually be a negative in certain use cases. Recording studios don't like the extra latency the ECC adds for MIDI for example.


ECC does not add latency and MIDI isn’t even sensitive to additional clock cycles in buffered memory (we are talking Nanoseconds here)


Audioland is a magic place where even different brands of hard drives can "affect the sound quality."

I'm not even a bit surprised by these outlandish claims of ECC RAM latency affecting MIDI timing.
