your better off getting the 52x cd's. These numbers are how fast the disc can be written onto, so the more the number, the faster the disc records onto.
52x is the speed of the CD to spin in the drive...
It means the cd drive can read 150 kb/s.
Yes.
52X has nothing to do with the rotational speed of the platter. The 52X speed rating indicates the refers to the fact that the drive can read data off of the disk at 52 times the speed of an original CD-ROM drive. Original CD-ROM drives read disk data at 150 kilobytes per second, so a 52X drive reads at 52 x 150KB/s.
The highest I've seen was a 52x.
52x is the max for a CD drive due to the fact that after you hit the 52x speed the disk itself starts to flex and wiggle and can snap easily and break the CD drive and a small possibility of there being "shrapnel" from the drive.
The fasted CD speed available is 52x, while DVD's spin at 16x.
7800 kB/s
52x is the speed at which a CD spins in the drive, the faster the computer can spin a CD, the faster it can obtain data and feed it to your computer. However, at speeds higher than 56x you risk shattering a CD. So you won't find any CD reader faster than a 56x, 52 and 54x are the most common and newest drives you can find today.
in CD it is 150kbit/second for example 52X meaning 52multiplied by 150kbit/second in DVD it is 11.o4megabit/second
I would just replace the drive. Inside your drive there are two lasers. A write laser and a read laser. Your read laser has probably burned out so getting a whole new drive should do the trick. You can get a standard 52x/52x (read/write) CD-ROM/R/RW for about $35.
The fast est drives burn cds at 52x and the fastest DVD burners do 24x.There are dozens of 24x burners and all burn cds at 52x.
x = 0.52 because: 52x + 3 = 30 52x = 30 - 3 52x = 27 x = 27/52 x = 0.52 ( to two decimal places)
-52x + 3 = 7 -52x + 3 = 7 -3 -3 -52x = 4 /52 /52 -x = 1/13 /-1 /-1 x = -1/13
