Something that doesn't get said enough is that Google had a habit at the time of buying RAM chips that had failed manufacturer QA, stuck them on DIMMs themselves, and revalidated those DIMMs. They were really leaning into the whole "embrace failures if they're going to happen anyway and you can get cheaper servers out of it". So those numbers need to be taken with a grain of salt.

Even still, a one-third of a memory error per year is a rate that I'm totally comfortable with.
