I think there is some confusion about the impact of bit flips on reads and on writes. Those are separate cases. That blog post is absolutely correct, but it talks about writes. People here are talking about reads.


The forum post and blog both state that data also gets corrupted even more during reads. They also use strange assumption that data would be written to RAM ignoring byte boundary (i.e. shifted by 4 bits).
