Really old CD ROM devices were slow. 2X CD Roms were double speed. Yours is 58 times faster.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

It's the drive's speed compared to the first CD-ROM drives. So the original ones were actually 1x, and 58x means it's 58 times faster.

Maximum CD ROM reading speed.
1x=175 kbyte/second
For your CD rom:
58x = 58 x 175 = 10150 kbyte/second (maximum)

ther was a standard speed in CD-ROM's and the x is equall the "multiply". CD-ROM-58X mean that your CD-ROM speed is the standard CD-ROM speed multiply to 58.

x stands for SPEED at which it reads data. Your cd-rom reads at 58speed...this is only true on the very outer portion of the disk though :)

'X' stands for the read/write speed of the CD drive.
