The Acer CD-640A is a 40X maximum speed, 5.25-inch half-height form factor CD-ROM drive. It employs the advanced CAV technology. CAV (Constant Angular Velocity) technology maintains consistent CD-ROM disk rotation speed and reads data at various transfer rates. This feature ensures less stressing of the spindle motor and thus better reliability of the drive. It also improves the performance of data seeking / reading in most areas of a disk.
