[QUOTE="nfox, post: 170929, member: 24296"] I've tried various CD/DVD drives over the past few years, and have found that the NEC and Plextor drives are the quietest I've tested. That's not to say that slowing the speed down doesn't make them quieter still, but if you start with a quiet drive then they can only get quieter as they get slower. I used to use the Nero drive speed limiter, but that has the disadvantage of always slowing the drive down, whether or not you are in MP, whereas (as far as I can tell, correct me if I'm wrong) limiting the speed with the MP utility means that when you exit MP your drive will run at full speed, which is useful for installing software from CD/DVD etc. Not a show stopper, but makes life easier.
