How fast does a CD spin?
Zymurgist
that all depends on the media, how it was made and the cd reader.
CD-ROM drives are usually referred to by 8x or 16x or whatnot, this referrs to about 8 times as much data transfer as a single speed drive. Single speed drives are used on audio cd’s and they spin at about 1500 rpms.
To deal with men by force is as impractical as to deal with nature by persuasion.
No wonder I can’t read the label! Thanks!

- You sure? I could swear I read it being 300 RPMs (for audio CDs). - MC

- The data transfer speed can’t just be related to the RPMs, because a 1500 RPM CD at 40X would be spinning at 60,000 RPMs. Kinda high. - MC
