According to the presently disclosed subject matter there is provided inter alia, a method and system which enable to uncover errors which are correctible by a data integrity mechanism in a computer system. The same data is read with the help of two different types of read commands. The first command is a read command which does not implement an inherent ECC and therefore does not correct corrupted data. The second command is a read command which includes an ECC and is adapted to correct errors which are detected in the data which is being read. The data obtained by each of the two read commands is compared, and in cases where a difference is identified between the two data, it is determined that an error has been detected and corrected by the ECC.
