I tried that, but as it seems without any effect on the drive's speed. Maybe my efforts were not sufficient :) Or maybe it is because the drive does not seem to spin as fast as the Pioneer. It looks like when reading a DVD-RW it takes about 1.2 seconds to read 10 MB of data; when I insert the Asus-CD, the drive spins audibly faster, but surprisingly takes about 3 seconds to read 10 MB. > > > At the begin of this thread: > > > > [...] I finally picked no. 1 of 2 of these Asus DRW-24D5MTs [...] > > > So far the Asus managed to pass all tests, so probably I should just > > be grateful to all the transcendental authorities that guided my hand > > when I picked that carton from the shelf :) > > Does yours pull in the tray automatically after 200 seconds of standing > out ?

For the record: afair the Plextor PX-810SA did nothing of that sort, Nor does the 'TSSTcorp' 'CDDVDW SH-224DB' in the other machine. > > I wonder whether this is related to this obscure description on > > https://www.asus.com/Motherboards-Components/Optical-Drives/Internal-DVD-Drive/DRW-24D5MT/ > > "E-Green technology auto-closes drive application when not in use, > saving over 50% power consumption for users" > > (What might be meant by "drive application" ?) I thought they just mean that it spins down after a few minutes, but who knows? On the disc that came with the drive there is a "ASUS E-Green.exe", so maybe we would need to install this first to fully enjoy the Wonders of "E-Green"? :) Best regards Michael .-.. .. ...- . .-.. --- -. --. .- -. -.. .--. .-. --- ... .--. . .-.
