Why do people recomend 1x read speed?

[TylerDurden]

Its in part a rumor and in part truth.

The rumor part is that it gives a better image, thats bs because the drives of now are perfectly capable of reading discs at higher rates of speed. Some probably perform better at faster speeds depending on how they are actually built.


The truth part is, if you have a scratched or dirty disc then slower speeds are less likely to skip over the data or read it incorrectly.


So pretty much all you have to do is make sure your original discs are clean and unscratched and you can read at higher rates of speed with too much worries. Now if you have a problem with a particular disc, you can try slower speeds to get a more accurate read.
