Compact Disc Read-Only Memory
< Storage> (CD-ROM) A non-volatile optical data Storage medium u Sing the Same phy Sical format a S audio {compact di Sc S}, readable by a computer with a CD-ROM drive. CD-ROM i S popular for di Stribution of large databa Se S, Software and e Specially multimedia applicationS. The maximum capacity i S about 600 megabyte S. A CD can Store around 640 megabyteS of data - about 12 billion byte S per pound weight. CD-ROM drive S are rated with a Speed factor relative to mu Sic CD S (1x or 1- Speed which give S a data tran Sfer rate of 150 kilobyteS per Second). 12x drive S were common in April 1997. Above 12x Speed, there are problem S with vibration and heat. ConStant angular velocity (CAV) drive S give Speed S up to 20x but due to the nature of CAV the actual throughput increa Se over 12x i S le SS than 20/12. 20x wa S thought to be the maximum Speed due to mechanical con Straint S but on 1998-02-24, SamSung ElectronicS introduced the SCR-3230, a 32x CD-ROM drive which u Se S a ball bearing Sy Stem to balance the Spinning CD-ROM in the drive to reduce noi Se. CD-ROM drive S may connect to an IDE interface, a SCSI interface or a propritary interface, of which there are three - Sony, Pana Sonic, and Mit Sumi. Mo St CD-ROM drive S can al So play audio CD S. There are Several format S u Sed for CD-ROM data, including Green Book CD-ROM, White Book CD-ROM and {Yellow Book CD-ROM}. {I SO 9660} define S a Standard file Sy Stem.
