Is the data transfer rate of the disc the same as the speed of rotation of the disc?

No.\nData transfer rate is "how fast information gets on the disk".\nRotation is "how fast the disk spins".\n\nFor example, a slow data transfer rate could be you printing out your own name on a sheet of paper.\n\nIf the paper were moving, it doesn't affect how fast you can get your muscles to produce the writing ... just where (on the page) the writing appears.

the hard drive is measured in  bites\nthe processor speed is measured in  hertz

no, burning at a slower speed is better for an older drive so it is able to keep up with the information from the computer.  it has nothing to do with the bitrate of the music.\n\nIm going to edit My Answer and say this, You ask about the Quality of the music, and im still going to say no, BUT it does improve the quality of the DISK and the actual DATA.  but as far as sound goes, you wouldn's see any significant difference.

This is a classic conservation of angular momentum question.\nWe will assume frictionless motion.\nThe angular momentum is always:\n\n1/2 r^2 m  for the disk\nplus\nd^2 m for the man\nthe sum multiplied by the angular speed\n\nsince the momentum is conserved:\n\n(1/2*4*25+85*4)*.15=\n(1/2*4*25+85*.7^2) speed\n\nspeed=.64 rev/s\n\nI'll let you convert it to radians per second\n\nj

It is the same.  Unless you're flying in one of the experimental planes which leaves the atmosphere.  The atmosphere moves with the planet so the plane is unaffected by the spinning.  Just as we don't feel the spinning.

These numbers are for Read/Write/ReWrite speed. They are usually expressed such that 1x = 150KB/s. \n\nSo 48x would be 7200 KB/s and 24x would be 3600 KB/s.\n\nBut the manufacturers usually use some trick here, the speeds listed are 'peak' performance, which you would normally only get when reading/writing on the outer edge of the disk.

The drive reel (the one pulling the tape from the other reel) is always spinning at the same number of rotations per minute (RPM).  The amount of tape reeled in on each rotation is equal to Pi times the radius of the reel times 2 (3.14*r*2).  As the tape is reeled in the radius of the reel increases as the tape winds around it.  That increases the radius of the the reel which make which means it takes in more tape with each rotation.  Since the rotation is at a constant RPM, the tape being pulled to the reel will keep speeding up.

I just answerred a similar question an hour ago right here. In your case you may have some problems, possibly driver/malware/virus/spyware related.\n\nGood DVD/CD writer has nothing to do with a PC general speed.

Nope, Connection speed shares when some computer is receiving or sending something. Like opening a website is Receiving and sending an e-mail is... sending.

The answer is no.  Data is written to a CD much in the same way as a picture is exposed on film.  Dye on the surface of the CD is altered optically so that a laser beam will be reflected (or not) to indicate a one or a zero.  As far as a hard drive goes, the surface of the disk is coated with a ferro-magnetic compound which changes magnetic states as the drive head magnetizes it.  All that is being changed is the north/ south state of a bit site on the disk platter.  See the links below for a more complete explanation.

no...ddr means double data rate, it's one stick that works twice as fast.  this site might help. http://www.ddr-memory.com/about_ddr.asp

Hi Alan the 1st!\nWe neglect the central aperture in CD, then inertia momentum is I=m*r^2/2 for any homogeneous disk, m=0.017kg, r=0.06m. Torq T=I*w’, w’ is angular acceleration, while w=w’*t, w=22 rad/s, t=0.88s, thus T=m*r^2*(w/t)/2, - plug in the proper numbers, be a good boy!

It will hurt!\n\nAn 8x recordable speed disc is only designed to be recorded at 8x speed.  Any faster, and you risk producing a bad recording, with the chance of errors and unreadable sectors increasing the more you exceed the rating.  Unreadable sectors give you lost data, or drop-outs in audio/video.\n\nAs for reading discs, that same disc rated for 8x recording might also be rated for 16x or faster reading, once you've recorded your data.\n\nOn a related note, if you're concerned with quality, choose the manufacturer of your DVD media well.  Not all recordable DVD's are created equal, and you will have poor results with some cheaply manufactured media, regardless of the speed.  In general, the DVD's manufactured by certain Japanese corporations offer the best quality today (2006).

You could use Net::Ping to find an average response rate. This doesn't actually tell you bandwidth though.\n\nAlternatively, you could have the one system send some amount of data to the other one and, using Time::HiRes, determine the average data transfer rate. If you don't have a server you can do this with, you can use Net::Daemon or some such for this purpose.

yes, according to this the volume doubles.  I would assume that the volume is directly related to the speed but I could be wrong.

Like Ubergeek said, this probably is not a software issue.  You can copy things faster if you do not use windows explorer, but use a command prompt and do an Xcopy, but you will still see the hardware limitation from your CD drive.  You can also add more system memory which will increase your copying speed.

If you have your network interface duplex/speed set to Auto Detect then you may experience some problems.\n\nIts best to adjust the duplex/speed setting to see what gives you the best results. You'll need to know what speed your network is running at.\n\nIf you get error messages such as "Disk Full" or "Delayed Write Failed" when saving to the network then you should adjust the setting for duplex/speed.\n\nRight click on the local area network icon in "Network Connections".\n\nClick on the Configure button and then the Advanced tab.\n\nYou need to locate the Duplex/Speed setting (it may vary for different network cards).\n\nIf your network is running at 10Mbps, for example, then you should set your card accordingly.\n\nThe reason that slower speeds sometimes improve the transfer rate is because you may have several different devices on your network that work at varying speeds so the network has to compensate more to include all the devices. Slowing the network interface card means more devices can get involved without compensation and without as many network data collisions.
