    Data CD
    Facts:
    • One sector holds 2048 bytes of DATA.
    • The DATA Transfer-rate (single speed) is 150 KBytes/second
      = 153600 bytes/second.

    NOTE: 
    A few CD-R Manufacturers advertise that their CD-R can hold 680 Mb.
They usually (wrongly) assume that:
    1 MByte = 1000000 bytes (instead of 1048576 bytes)
1048576/1000000 * 650 Mb = 681 Mb
    This assumption is totally misleading so be careful what you read.

    The reason why an AUDIO CD  holds more data/sector lays in the fact that it uses the complete 2352 bytes to store AUDIO in one sector. This means that an Audio-Byte is per default corrupt as there is no CRC checking. Due to hardware datacorrection these errors are not heard.
    This method can not be used for a Data-Bytes as the data would be corrupt. To fix this problem a DATA sector contains both Data and CRC-CCITT Information.
    CRC-CCITT is a 16 bit EDC (Error Detecting Code). For every byte of data a 16 bit CRC code is calculated, resulting in 128 CRCs, 16 bits each. These CRCs, therefore, take up 256 bytes of the 2352 bytes available. The remaining 48 bytes are reserved for future use. This leaves 2048 bytes available for actual Data.
    NOTE: 
    A few CD-R Manufacturers advertise that their CD-R can hold 680 Mb.
They usually (wrongly) assume that:
    1 Mbytes = 1000000 bytes (instead of 1048576 bytes)
1048576/1000000 * 650 Mb = 681 Mb
    This assumption is totally misleading so be careful what you read.
