define "necessary"

what has this to do with InnoDB / ACID
if the underlying hardware makes a mistake there is no
software which can make this unhappen because the software
can not know that a "ok written" did never happen or did
not write the expected data

in my workstations i never used ECC-RAM, and hey i did not die
on production servers i would always use server hardware where
this normally is not a question
