The CD or DVD drivers speed is measured by xX e.i 24X. The higher the burning X speed the faster it will burn
The fasted CD speed available is 52x, while DVD's spin at 16x.
Pioneer has good drives, good speed and price.
There are drives that are somewhat quieter than others, but this is more a function of speed. The slower the drives spins, the quiter it is. LG, ASUS, and Lightscribe have some noted near silent drives.
They're not suppose to. If yours is it could be one of these problems. The drive does not support DVD writing. It could be broken. It could be that it is not strong enough.
Anytime you see a number with a x, like (24)(x) it refers to a speed of that particular item. The 24x on the DVD means that it can write the files to it at the spped of 24 bits per (x). If you look further it may say write speed 24(x) and other information. Most DVD drives can handle writing to a DVD/RW at this speed without any adjustments.
22x is the writing speed of the DVD writer . its the speed at which the data is burnt on the DVD. its much faster than 16x,18x,20x
Best Buy is one of the best places to go to purchase cd and dvd drives. They will have a huge selection and you can choose how many gigs you want and what speed you want.
Disks that can be played on DVD ROM drives are the kinds of disks with movies on them. DVD ROM drives such as music can't be played because DVD ROM drives are specifically for playing movies.
This means that the drive supports reading and writing to all types of DVD media: DVD-Video DVD-Audio DVD-ROM DVD-R DVD-RW DVD-RAM Also supports the + standards as well. Most basic drives do not support all of these types. Check before you buy.
One can buy dvd cd drives online through sites such as Amazon and eBay. Stores like Staples and Best Buy also sell dvd cd drives. Target and Sears, some locations, also sell dvd cd drives.
Mine has 1 but my system can hold up to 4 DVD drives at once
In my experience, the laptops have slower drives in terms of read speed.
