AOpen、华硕、Behavior和Ultima公司以及其他公司正在开发44倍速、48倍速甚至60倍速的CD-ROM驱动器目前市场上速度最快的CD-ROM驱动器已经达到40倍速。AOpen已经完成它的44倍速CD-ROM驱动器,而宏(?)也准备生产48倍速CD-ROM驱动器。Behavior更是声称着手60倍速的CD-ROM。CD-ROM速度的提高是由于这些公司希望在CD-ROM被淘汰之前尽可能多的售出一些。由于电子制造商和PC销售商纷纷转向DVD,CD-ROM将随着21世纪的到来而逐渐消失。有分析家表示,“CD-ROM之所以被淘汰并不是由于速度上的原因,而是由于容量的原因。大多数主要的消费电子销售商称2000年之后他们将不再做CD-ROM的生意。”但是具有讽刺意味的是市场行情与此形成强烈反差,尽管CD-ROM的速度达到50倍速,但是PC的用户并没有看到它与24倍速甚至8倍速CD-ROM之间的显著差别。
AOpen, Asus, Behavior and Ultima, among others, are developing 44x, 48x and even 60x CD-ROM drives. The fastest CD-ROM drive on the market today has reached 40x. AOpen has completed its 44x CD-ROM drive, while Macros (?) Are also producing 48x CD-ROM drives. Behavior is claimed to start 60-speed CD-ROM. The speed of the CD-ROM is due to the fact that these companies want to sell as much as possible before the CD-ROM is eliminated. As electronic manufacturers and PC vendors turn to DVD, CD-ROM will gradually disappear with the advent of the 21st century. Some analysts said that “the CD-ROM was eliminated not because of speed, but because of capacity, and most major consumer electronics vendors say they will no longer do CD-ROM business after 2000 ”But ironically, the market is in stark contrast to the fact that even though the CD-ROM drives at 50x, users of the PC do not see a significant difference from 24x or even 8x CD-ROMs.
