| + | Doing math and converting kB to Mb and so on gives me a headache, and I can't be particularly certain that I'm doing it right. Therefore, these are the speeds in **binary bytes**, as in, this is what I use in [[dvd_info]] and [[bluray_info]] when deciding how much memory to allocate or drive speed to run at, as in an **char**. | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can do the conversion on your own to another format, because I can't be certain of my own work, and also because numerous resources use the wrong naming syntax (kB vs Kb vs kb vs KB, and so on, going up or down from there). | ||
| + | |||
| + | You can use [[cdrecord]] to get your drive's speed. Insert a DVD into the into the drive to get speed for that one, a CD otherwise, etc. | ||

| + | cdrecord -prcap | ||

| + | ==== Market Availability ==== | ||
| + | |||
| + | My Blu-ray / DVD drive is old (from 2009), and it's an 4x BD-ROM, and 8x DVD-ROM. | ||
| + | |||
| + | The majority of optical drives on the market now (March 2018) are 12x BD-ROM, and 18x DVD-ROM. | ||
| - | ^ Drive Speed ^ kiloBytes (kB) ^ megaBytes (mB) ^ Source ^ Notation ^ | + | To be safe, in my code, I set the default max speed at my drives, and allow users to override the drive speed manually to maximize the read speed **per second**. |
