The ads suggest that CD burners are getting faster and faster. The current pack of CD burners, which can turn out CDs at 32x, will soon be eclipsed by a new breed of even more powerful models that have recording speeds of 40x or even 48x. In our latest tests (The Outer Limit: CD-Rs with 80, 90 and 99 Minutes and Serious Burn: Copying CDs In Just 3 Minutes ), we showed that it's possible to copy a normal CD ROM in about three minutes using 24x burners. If we extrapolate this speed for a 32x burner, we should be able to create a copy in two and a half minutes.
