i know this sounds contradictory and counterintuitive -- esp. because this relates to EAC -- but is it possible to use EAC without error correction?
thanks

Full Version: EAC without error correction
First thing that should be mentioned is that EAC actually performs no error correction. In the event that it detects an error, it simply tells the drive to re-read the data multiple times and does a statistical analysis in order to determine what data to deem as good. Any error correction that is done is performed by the drive internally.
But to answer your question, simply configure EAC to use Burst mode.
...and no, you can't tell your drive not to perform error correction.

You're welcome. I did a little editing just prior to reading your response to make sure my statement is not misinterpreted.
