50x (or any #x) is an indication of the speed of a drive. On a CD-ROM drive that is only capable of reading CDs, it is specifically referring to how fast the drive spins and reads the drive. 1x was the speed of the first CD-ROM drives (500 RPM and 150 KiB/s), and is still the speed used by most stereos when playing an audio CD. A 50x CD-ROM drive reads the disc approximately 50x faster than than the first drives.
Other speeds can be labeled on a drive such as CD writing capabilities (how fast it can write to a disc based on the 500 RPM/150 KiB/s rate), DVD reading capability (based on speed relative to the first DVD drives) and writing DVDs (based on 1350 kB/s for 1x).
