So it means some percentage of data can end up being incorrect depending on the quality of the drive?

  Sort of. If you take the same disc between different drives it's possible to get different readings on each of the drives. Red Book audio data is at a fairly high frequency with multiple channels. A few corrupted samples are likely not noticeable. So its error correction is best effort and interpolates between previous and later samples. Two different drives with different read mechanisms and implementation of the Red Book standard might produce different samples when reading an error and depending on the nature of the error.

  If your disc is marginal, some data can end up being incorrect. Depending upon the quality of the drive mechanism itself, and how it reports errors to the ripping software, you can end up with incorrect data more or less often.
