Data on a DVD-ROM is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 3.3X at the innermost track to 8X at
the outermost track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 1385 kbytes/s). The average data transfer rate is
5.6X (7634 kbytes/s). Data on a CD-ROM is read at a variable transfer rate, ranging from 17.2X at the
innermost track to 40X at the outermost track (the data transfer standard 1X rate is 150 kbytes/s). The
average data transfer rate is 28.6X (4293 kbytes/s)
