There are several +reasons for changing the speed of a CDROM drive. Badly pressed CDROMs may +benefit from less-than-maximum head rate. Modern CDROM drives can obtain very +high head rates (up to 24-times is common). It has been reported that these +drives can make reading errors at these high speeds, reducing the speed can +prevent data loss in these circumstances. Finally, some of these drives can +make an annoyingly loud noise, which a lower speed may reduce. + +Howto +~~~~~ +The recommended way to do it is with a program called 'setcd' . It's kinda +old, but won't be too hard to find on the Net. +Use it with : + setcd -x + +Also you can try : + echo current_speed:4 >/proc/ide//settings +but you'll need root privileges.
