Nero DriveSpeed: Slow Down DVD And CD Drives For Quieter Playback
I have to admit that it’s rare that I use my DVD drive, as I tend to use USB keys. However, whenever I have to use my DVD drive I hate the loud whirring noise that it makes.
I’ve just followed this advice to install Nero DriveSpeed that allows you to slow your DVD drive down so that it spins slower and makes less noise, when you don’t need it to transfer data as fast as possible. This works great if you are listening to music or watching a movie, and would rather focus on the audio track rather than your DVD’s screeching.
Once installed, Nero DriveSpeed pops up automatically when a disc is inserted and asks you if you want to run in Fast or Silent modes. It’s also possible to set your own custom read speeds.
