Plextools Pro + Premium undetected errors

So in summary
If Plextools has no errors the rip is probably OK, it was in all my attempts.
If Plextools reports an unrecovered error, there are probably recovered errors nearby some of which may not have correct data.
If Plextools only reports recovered errors, the data may or may not be correct.

Not what I had wanted to see 

Bobwood, did you try different correction modes? (3, 4, 5)

By the way, what's the unit of measurement of the BER figures you quote ?
BER indicates a fraction, so there is no unit of measurement.

As best as I an remember I used mode 5.
I did however have the allow slowdown box unchecked.  When the I allowed slowdown or just set the speed to 8X there were fewer if any read errors.

Thanks for your reply.
I asked because your results made me wonder whether Plextools actually tested whether its corrected data is actually correct. Since the different modes (3,4,5) are slightly different recovery methods, the results could vary as well.

Maybe I'll try to re-do your test myself - I have Plextools too. But not one of these days or even weeks - no time, I can't afford it
