It just means 300 times as faster than normal speed.
In this case normal is measured compared to CD standards, so 1x CF = 1x CD Rom = 150 kB/s.
Even in case of CDs the n times faster usually refers to the reading speed, not to the rpm. There is / was a 72x CD Reader which actually only spun at something like 10x but used 7 read heads.

Let the hive mind of Engadget get that for you.

"I just switched to Sprint from Verizon about three months ago for the Pre. Then I went for the Hero about a week ago. Now, I miss my hardware keyboard and am thinking about switching to the Moment. I am still able to switch back to Verizon if I want and get the Droid when it arrives. Should I just trade up to the Moment when it comes out, see if I like it, and if not switch to the Droid? Or something else entirely? Help!"
