How many of you thought that the race to make the fastest CD-ROM was over? I'll admit I did. Well Kenwood has just released their 72X TrueXT CD-ROM, so it looks like that race is alive and well. Now, if your thinking, why would I want to put a 5.25" centrafuge in my computer, then read these specs: :-)
-sustained transfer rate ranging from 6.75MB/sec. to 10.8MB/sec across the entire disc
-reads 7 tracks of data in parallel
-employs Partial Constant Angular Velocity (PCAV) for optimum performance
-reduced vibration and noise by rotating at only 5,100 to 2,700 RPMs (56x CDROM can rotate as high as 11,00 rom)
