       I, for one, think we should still be measuring data transfer speeds in CD-ROM Xes.Just moved some files from one drive to another at 2,400X speed!

       @TechConnectify Remind me, that 1X value is simply based off the data rate of 16 bit, 2 channel, 44.1KHz sample rate PCM, correct? Nothing special other than a straight comparison to Red Book CD-DA?

       @kirkman don't think so: it's based on CD-ROM. There's more error checking redundancy there so an 80 minute CD-DA works out to ~846MB of audio sample data but only 700MB of CD-ROM capacity is available on the same disc

       @kirkman so... kind of. A 1X drive will read those 700MB in 80 minutes, but the red book standard has a slightly higher data throughput given that small errors can be fudged without your brain noticing.
