Hello, i am looking for a dvd drive with the fastest read and write speed then 24.

I have already got a dual layer 24X Blue RAY DVD drive.
It cost me only $20.00 AUD. I see $100.00 AUD ones with better features like light scribe, laser printing etc and just extra better quality. However i have heard dvd read speeds having a megabytes per second speed rather then the 24X speeds. MB/s is faster i guess. Its true there is such kind of drive but im not sure which one. Does anyone know of a dvd drive capable of functioning like the samsung evo 850?

The evo 850 has a read speed of 520MB/s and a write speed of 520MB/s. Are there any dvd drives capable of doing the same as the ssd or above 520MB/s? 700-900 MB/s or 1Gb or more /s? or per minute maybe?

No. The 24x speed is probably the fastest DVD drive youll find, that hasnt changed in years. And it wont. If you want SSD speeds, buy an SSD.

you wont see drives go any faster for safty. at a set speed you can have the disks explode from spinning to fast. a few years ago there was a bunch of news clips of pc cd rom drive disk poping in people drives and runing the drives. the cheap disk were not made right and fell apart in high speed drives.

I had that happen. Drive spun up, quite noisy. About 5 seconds in...bang.
Take the drive out, shake it...the DVD turned itself into confetti.

What im saying is that there are write speeds which exceeds the 24x speeds and the read speed to. So i would like to buy one of those disc drives used in large companies. You know the ones mainframes use. The ones in which you can copy a large 10GB file in just a few seconds? Which drive is that?

You mean the x-Roket 5000 industrial optical writer, usd$50,000 and doesn't spin the disc but rather has a series of prisms to direct up to 512 laser beams simultaneously to burn the disc? :D

I don't think factory-made DVD use home burning process as we know of.

What's the obsession with optical media anyway. The future is solid state.

I don't think you understand quite what you are talking about. "mainframes" or servers is what you are probably talking about, rarely use optical media, they use tapes or SAN or SAS connected hard drivers. What are you looking to do and why? DVD/CD media just can't be run at super fast speeds due to the technology. It's like trying to get a car with wheels and a combustion engine to drive at the speed of a rocket, you have only so much you can do with the physical limits.
