† Data on a CD-ROM is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 14X at the innermost track to 32X at
the outermost track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 150 kybtes/s). The average data transfer rate is
23X (3450 kbytes/s).
‡ DVD-ROM drive also plays CD-ROMs. Data on the DVD-ROM is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging
from 2.5X at the innermost track to 6X at the outermost track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 1385
kbytes/s). The average data transfer rate is either 4.25X (5886.25 kbytes/s). Data on a CD-ROM 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 17X (2250 kbytes/s).
** Data on a CD-RW 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).
