Make my dvd-rom drive faster.

Yeah, you heard the title. I'm sick of having a 24x burner that maxes out at 2-3x with Roxio. Any suggestions on fast programs, or tweaks to increase burning speed?

I also heard that SATA dvd-rom drives are crazy fast, and if so, do you guys think it would be worth it?

VROOOOM VROOOOOOM

Optical drives are relatively fast when reading a single file in a perfectly fine CD, but as long as it has one particle of dust in the surface, they become as slow as a floppy disk and 10 times stupider, partly because of the drives and partly because of the drivers I suppose. BTW, the fastest optical drives for everything but large files I've ever seen were old 9X-12X CD-ROM drives, before they went VROOM VROOOOM because magazine-reading people is retarded and thing 24X is twice as good as 12X.

I wouldn't bother with speed on that.

You speak pure gold! I read cd's with my dirt-old 12x cdrom drive and it really is faster than my spanking new dvd burner.

I lold

Today's drives logic contains advanced Artificial Stupidity (TM) algorithms:

1. Have some coffee while I spin up, VROOM VROOOM
2. Oh wait nigga, I ain't reading this shit so fast
3. Have some coffee while I spin down, oopsies
4. Yay! I can read 4 KB of it! Let's try a bit faster...
5. Go to step 1.

My newer drives sorta do that...  But they are smarter, they will slow down and read more than like 4KB of it, and when they speed back up, they keep reading fast.  I have even read some pretty badly scartched media at full speed :O
