CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 94

A technician needs to install RAM into a rackmount server that will be used as a VM host. Which of the following would be BEST to install?

Answer options

• A. SODIMM
• B. VRAM
• C. DDR4
• D. ECC

Correct answer: D

Explanation

ECC (Error-Correcting Code) RAM is the best choice for a VM host server because it can detect and correct data corruption, which is crucial for maintaining data integrity in virtualized environments. SODIMM is typically used in laptops, VRAM is specialized for graphics, and while DDR4 is a type of RAM, it does not inherently provide the error-checking capability that ECC offers.
