Sorry, I wasn't being specific. I was merely trying to say that I think it
buffers more than 40 seconds. It always has a buffer of 40 seconds, but it
appears almost like it has a secondary buffer, and that it does burst-buffer
type read/writes. The 10 second and 30 second figures were just used as
examples.

It is definitely not a fragmented disc. It is a cd I copied digitally from
start to end. I'm sorry to say that the unit is not very quiet, so because
of this it is very apparent when the disc actually spins, and when not.
