I got into an argument with a colleague about RAID levels (specifically RAID5) and whether the redundancy was accomplished through parity or ECC. The standard sources all refer to the RAID5 array ...
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 ...
A common RS code is {255, 223} with 8-bit symbols. This creates a message of 255 bytes with 223 data bytes and 32 parity bytes. With these 32 bytes RS can correct errors in 16 bytes of the message.
