  2. Optical storage media writing and reading speed - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_storage_media...

    As faster drives were released, the write speeds and read speeds for optical discs were multiplied by manufacturers, far exceeding the drive speeds originally released onto the market. In order to market increasing drive speeds, manufacturers used the symbol n×, whereby n is the multiple of the original speed. For example, writing to a CD at 8 ...

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

    The first HDD [11] had an average seek time of about 600 ms. [12] and by the middle 1970s, HDDs were available with seek times of about 25 ms. [13]Some early PC drives used a stepper motor to move the heads, and as a result had seek times as slow as 80–120 ms, but this was quickly improved by voice coil type actuation in the 1980s, reducing seek times to around 20 ms.

    The recording speed on such drives was rated in multiples of 150 KiB/s; a 4X drive, for instance, would write steadily at around 600 KiB/s. The transfer rate was kept constant by having the spindle motor in the drive vary in speed and run 2.4 times [1] as fast when recording at the inner rim of the disc as on the outer rim. Some high-speed ...

    The CD-ROM itself may contain "weak" sectors to make copying the disc more difficult, and additional data that may be difficult or impossible to copy to a CD-R or disc image, but which the software checks for each time it is run to ensure an original disc and not an unauthorized copy is present in the computer's CD-ROM drive.

  8. Hard disk drive interface - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk_drive_interface

    Enhanced Small Disk Interface (ESDI) was an attempt to minimize controller design time by supporting multiple data rates with a standard data encoding scheme; this was usually negotiated automatically by the disk drive and controller; most of the time, however, 15 or 20 megabit ESDI disk drives were not downward compatible (i.e. a 15 or 20 ...

    The Chameleon firmware completely emulates the Commodore 1541 disk drive on the Turbo Chameleon 64 cartridge, using a disk connector output on the cartridge. The emulator provides access to a MMC or SD card on the cartridge. Partial emulation. The 64HDD is a serial bus and disk drive emulator, developed in 1999–2010 by Nicholas Coplin. [6]
