the outermost track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 150 kbytes/s). The average data transfer rate is
either 3.3X (4616 kbytes/s) or 3.4X (4709 kbytes/s), depending on your specific system. Data on a CD-R
disc is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 10X at the innermost track to 24X at the outermost
track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 150 kbytes/s). The average data transfer rate is either 3.3X
(4616 kbytes/s)or 3.4X (4709 kbytes/s), depending on your specific system.
† Data on a CD-RW disc is written at a fixed transfer rate of 2X (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 100
kbytes/s), and is read at a fixed transfer rate of 8X (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 150 kbytes/s).
‡ Data on a CD-ROM disc is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 10X at the innermost track to 24X
at the outermost track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 150 kybtes/s). The average data transfer rate
