AVL schrijft: "Deze cd-rom speler van Kenwood doet meer dan alleen maar harder draaien. Door het gebruik van meerdere lasers haalt hij deze hoge snelheid. Daarbij maakt hij ook nog eens minder lawaai. Mooi dingetje, vinden ze ook bij Review Board":
So how the heck does Kenwood get 72x without having CDROM soup as the result? They take a different approach. Instead of spinning the disk faster they use more lasers. As a result they have a CDROM drive that produces MUCH LESS sound, and MUCH more speed. 7 Beams in all; the Kenwood 72x CDROM addresses 7 tracks in parallel and processes the data through a custom ASIC.It does more at once, which means your CDROM's will thank you by lasting longer. No more heat to warp your CD's and screw up your data.
By now you are wondering how it stacks up in the real world right? I can tell you all about the wonderful benchmarks we did. Can you say 10.5 megabytes sustained? Come on, form the words with me; TEN POINT FIVE MEGABYTES SUSTAINED. As you can imagine from all of this, 10.5 megabytes sustained transfer rate is a really big deal. The Toshiba 32x that came stock in this system scored 3.4 megabytes per second.
