(CD-ROM) A ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=non-volatile">non-volatile optical data storage medium using the same physical format as audio {compact discs}, readable by a computer with a CD-ROM drive. CD-ROM is popular for distribution of large databases, software and especially ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=multimedia">multimedia ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=applications">applications. The maximum capacity is about 600 megabytes. A CD can store around 640 ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=megabytes">megabytes of data - about 12 billion bytes per pound weight. CD-ROM drives are rated with a speed factor relative to music CDs (1x or 1-speed which gives a data transfer rate of 150 ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=kilobytes">kilobytes per second). 12x drives were common in April 1997. Above 12x speed, there are problems with vibration and heat. ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Constant angular velocity">Constant angular velocity (CAV) drives give speeds up to 20x but due to the nature of CAV the actual throughput increase over 12x is less than 20/12. 20x was thought to be the maximum speed due to mechanical constraints but on 1998-02-24, ref="module.php?name=Lexikon&file=search&eid=1&query=Samsung Electronics">Samsung Electronics introduced the SCR-3230, a 32x CD-ROM drive which uses a ball bearing system to balance the spinning CD-ROM in the drive to reduce noise.
