DESC: This drive reads digital data stored on CD-ROM and CD-Audio discs. The CD-ROM disc is single sided and has a 12 cm or 8 cm diameter. It typically contains approximately 600 MBytes or 200 MBytes of information respectively. (1 MByte=220 Bytes) This drive reads digital data stored on CD-ROM discs at maximum 24 times faster rotational speed, a new generation drive with highest performance such as 99 ms access Time, shows highest performance such as 60,000 hour MTBF, and it offers a long life and high durability because the disc is read by a LASER, thereby eliminating physical contact with the disc.
