Using gnuplot, I just wanted to demonstrate how well using the rate
data can show up a weak read zone, even if it's just for 1 second
across a 500GB drive, despite it not reporting a read error ( I've
found from experience that failing sectors usually aren't far off once
you start having weak/slow read zones )

Tested with---
~/ddrescue-1.18-pre1$ sudo ddrescue --log-rates=SG500rates.log -v
-f /dev/sdg /dev/null test1.log


Generated using---
# gnuplot
Terminal type set to 'wxt'
gnuplot> plot "SG500rates.log" using  2:3 with lines
