ECC = Error Correction Code

It's an algorithm designed to recover single-bit errors in data storage (RAM, hard disk, whatever). Hard disks do tend to produce some of those by the very nature of the media but they should be recovered internally. If you're getting them reported in diagnostics it means something serious is going on. Back up and RMA ASAP.
