what Halc wrote is the proper definitions of these objects.

what drives actually do/report is another thing.
if a drive/chipset reports as PIE (for instance) something that isn't really PIE, well what can we do ?
One Ring to rule them all, One Ring to find them,
One Ring to bring them all and in the darkness bind them
In the land of Mordor, where the Shadows lie

According to ECMA publications, DVD specifications define PI error as follows:

"A row of an ECC Block that has at least 1 byte in error constitutes a PI error."

That means the recommended unit of measurement for PIE is row rather than byte, and PIE includes PIF. You may also read:
