I'm trying to understand what the accuracy measurments for the listed drives mean.
1. So when a drive is listed, for example, as 97% accurate, does this mean that 3 out of 100 rips will result in rips that are not bit for bit accurate (even though there is nothing wrong with the CD)?
2. If this is correct, will you know when a drive is not accurate by viewing the extraction log?
3. Does this 3% error rate in this example include a type of error where the AccurriteRip indicates it is error free (rip is accurate) when in fact it is not?
4. Asked a different way, if I'm currently using a drive with relatively low accuracy (Optiarc DVD RW AS-7261S (it does have C2 pointers); this model is not listed but other Optiarc's rank low on the list), should I be concerned that rips performed on this drive are inaccurate even if the extraction log for that rip indicates that all tracks were "Ripped Accurately"?
Sorry for the long winded question, I want to know if a less accurate drive can affect the rips that appear fine or whether it is strictly a matter of having a greater number of documented (in the extraction log for the rip) inaccurate rips that could have been avoided if a more accurate drive was used. Thank you.
