DVD-ROM drives keep on growing, and now the most of them work at a maximum of 16X. But there is also a DVD drive based on the TrueX technology which provides a speed of 25X due to a multibeam disc reading. Such a speed growth resulted in some negative consequences. Apart from loud noise, low-quality CDs got broken inside the drives because of high reading speed. Today we are going to examine the most popular DVD drives, and we will compare them within their speed categories. With time we plan to gather test results of all DVD-ROM devices currently available on the market.
