Is there any way an unreliable drive could fool Secure Mode such that it would report a good rip and not actually give a perfect rip?

Or does it always re-read at least once, in sufficiently large chunks, and force the results to be truly identical such that the chance of a flaky drive giving the identical, but wrong, data twice is essentially null?

Matt?  JimH?  Anyone!   ?

That's the idea.  MC reads everything at least twice.  It also does a really good job of side-stepping any caching the drive might do.

So, if the rip isn't bit-perfect, it'll show up in the secure rip report.

Thanks Matt.
