I have NEC 3500A and it has a loud terrible noise when reading DVDs or other media, avoiding me from playing music or movies directly from my drive. I have alway copied them to the harddrive first. But today I discovered that Nero Burning Rom has a tool called Drivespeed which allows you to set a reading speed for DVDs and CDs. I tried it, and set it on 5 for DVDs, which works perfectly. Ofcourse the optimum would be if it could be set as a variable speed, so when powering up it goes to maximum speed and then spins down to 1 or 5. That way the movie would start much faster and then read at an optimal speed without significant noise. However, it is possible to directly play around with different speeds while reading a media. You can set it on 1 and then on 18 and back to 1. The DVD instantly spins up and down beautifully. Nero Drivespeed is a great tool. If you don't have Nero installed already, you can find Nero Drivespeed here.
