I’ve never ripped CDs or DVDs before for any reason and am curious how this works since I have some stuff I wanna see about backing up but am nervous about ruining the disc. I’ve tried looking this up, but every time I do, I obviously am searching for the wrong thing because I have never found the info I’m looking for.
Holy shit, a 2x drive. I forgot that once was a cutting edge thing.
I lived in a non-anglophone country when those were a thing, how do you pronounce that? “Twice” drive? “Two ex” drive? “Double speed” drive?
“Double speed” and “two ex” both work, however it’s much, much more common to say “two ex” because of the fact that a lot of modern disc drives can read up to 52x for CDs.
You got no luck with me, I am not a native English speaker. In English I would call this “two ex” but now that I think of it in German we would say “two times”, or at least thats what I and my friends called it.
Both of those are fine. As a native English speaker I literally say both of those depending on my mood.
