DriveSpeed for Windows 7

Sykor Wrote:I just found something from Toshiba (for use in their notebooks/laptops) "Optical Drive Acoustic Silencer". Supposedly limits higher speed reads preventing excessive noise/vibration.

Haven't actually tried it yet, but it free and trying doesn't hurt. Search "silencer" in the drivers database in toshiba's support site (using a newer model nr. as "filter" won't hurt )

It only applies the settings in "the current windows session". So when you reboot or come out of standby you have to manually click on the tray icon and set to silent mode again. Less than ideal for a HTPC solution.

Will keep looking...
