‡ Data on a DVD-ROM is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 2X at the innermost track to 4.8X at
the outermost track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 1385 kbytes/s). The average data transfer rate is
3.6X (4986 kbytes/s). Data on a CD-ROM is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 10.5X at the
innermost track to 24X at the outermost track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 150 kbytes/s). The
average data transfer is 18X (2700 kbytes/s).
