    25.0 GB. 23.28 GiB. 90. Modern compact discs support a writing speed of 52× and higher, with some modern DVDs supporting speeds of up to 24×. [4] Writing a DVD at 1× (1 385 000 bytes per second) [5] is approximately 9 times faster than writing a CD at 1× (153 600 bytes per second). [6] However, the actual speeds depend on the type of data ...

  3. Bit rate - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bit_rate

    In telecommunications and computing, bit rate (bitrate or as a variable R) is the number of bits that are conveyed or processed per unit of time. [1]The bit rate is expressed in the unit bit per second (symbol: bit/s), often in conjunction with an SI prefix such as kilo (1 kbit/s = 1,000 bit/s), mega (1 Mbit/s = 1,000 kbit/s), giga (1 Gbit/s = 1,000 Mbit/s) or tera (1 Tbit/s = 1,000 Gbit/s). [2]

    The ISQ symbols for the bit and byte are bit and B, respectively.In the context of data-rate units, one byte consists of 8 bits, and is synonymous with the unit octet.The abbreviation bps is often used to mean bit/s, so that when a 1 Mbps connection is advertised, it usually means that the maximum achievable bandwidth is 1 Mbit/s (one million bits per second), which is 0.125 MB/s (megabyte per ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blu-ray_Disc_recordable

    Blu-ray Disc Recordable (BD-R) and Blu-ray Disc Recordable Erasable (BD-RE) refer to two direct to disc optical disc recording technologies that can be recorded on to a Blu-ray -based optical disc with an optical disc recorder. BD-R discs can only be written to once, whereas BD-RE discs can be erased and re-recorded multiple times, similar to ...

    A buffer underrun occurs during recording if the supply of data to the recorder is interrupted before the write is complete. Software typically moves the data to be recorded into a buffer; underrun occurs if the recorder processes data in the buffer faster than the software reloads it. Historically, buffer underrun was often caused by writing ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive...

    Measured in dBA, audible noise is significant for certain applications, such as DVRs, digital audio recording and quiet computers. Low noise disks typically use fluid bearings, lower rotational speeds (usually 5,400 rpm) and reduce the seek speed under load to reduce audible clicks and crunching sounds. Drives in smaller form factors (e.g. 2.5 ...

    With a USB 2.0 interface, the maximum exploitable drive speed is 288 Mbit/s or 36 MB/s (also called 8× speed). [127] A USB 3.0 interface (with proper cabling) does not have this limitation, [ 128 ] nor do even the oldest version of Serial ATA (SATA, 150 MB/s) [ 129 ] nor the latest Parallel ATA (133 MB/s) standards.
