Just because they can I guess...

I really hope that these drives live up to expectations and dont have all the reading and reliablity issues that the TrueX CD-ROM Drive line has been plagued with. If they are really going to transcend these problems, then one word.... sweeeet.

i want one...BAD!

The cost of one of them must be huge! I still want one!

why the heck would you want one? theres no way it can copy at 100x, plus youd have to havea fast HD to support that spped, PLUS the spinup/spindown time must be like a minute, PLUS its gonna sound like a windrunnel

good for case cooling and bragging rights, i guess

How fast is 100x CD (theoretically)? IIRC, 1x CD is 150 kbps, so 100x CDROM would sport 15,000 kbps, in other words 15 MB per second. You don't need a extraordinarily fast HD to support that.

Still, I agree. There's no real need for such a fast CD-ROM drive, and real-world performance will be far lower than the theoretical limit.

<< PLUS its gonna sound like a windrunnel >>

Because of the multi-beam laser, it won't be spinning very fast at all. I remember reading that the 72X Kenwood spun at the rate that most 24X CD-ROMs did.

kronchev must have a short attention span fore he didnt even read the article. That is apparent with his responses to the spinup and down times, and the noise. For future thread craps I think you should actually read the article that the thread is reporting. thanks
