DVD-Rom speed

[Tonny]

How to speed up my DVD-rom Lite-on SOHD-16p9s. I have it for 2 months but never see it runs better than 8x. Any advice or crakeway?
If I use Nero diskcopy from D: to E: with quick copy selected it cost 27 minutes to finish. Without quickcopy selected 18 minutes to finish.
But if I use CloneDVD It takes 17.7 minutes (12 minutes to read 5 minutes to writes).
Thanks,

download the firmware for your dvdrom then flash your it. read the instructions carefully.

I went to codeguy do all that, nothing improve. DVD-rom start from 3X and up to 7.5X.

How do you measure the speed ??
Are you copying many small files or a few big files?
How fast should it be ??
Do you have unrealistic expectations ??
ARe you angry at your hardware??

If that's for DUAL LAYER MEDIA @ 7.5 speed is normal. If you want a fast reader then buy a BENQ 1640 then use the SPEED READ PATCH firmware and you'll be blazing.
