faster cd burners? ? ? ?

Mitsubishi describes new laser technology that substantially boosts optical disk speeds.

Mitsubishi Electric has developed a more powerful semiconductor laser that should pave the way for 16X DVD writers to be commercially available by about 2004.

does this mean there is a way for cd burners to go over 52x without actually spinning faster?

I highly doubt it. We won't be seeing anything faster than 52x for awhile. The next CD-RW drive to be released sometime in the future will be 52x32x52. Other than that, no news about anything faster being released.

that sucks

Not really. Do you really need to save 2-3 seconds off your burn time?

by **cdrfreak2003** on Sun Jan 12, 2003 6:28 pm

more like 30 to 60 seconds

I don't think it would be that much faster. The difference between 48x and 52x writers isn't that much. I really doubt a 56x writer would be much faster than a 52x.

Saving 30 to 60 seconds off a CD burned at 52x would be physically impossible with the current CD technology we have. I highly doubt any CD's would be able to stand up to the high RPM's of such a drive.

cd's aren't garenteed to break in a 56x or more. there would be like a .o9 percent chance that will happen.

No, how exactly do you hope to burn faster if you don't spin faster ?
