CD.Speed v3.3
The best way to to improve data read reliability, lower CD read
noise, and extend your CD-ROM drive lifetime.
CD Speed can set the maximum data transfer rate of your CD-ROM
drive and limit compact disk rotation speed. These settings will
apply to all Windows applications that read data from CD. When you
listen to your favorite music, watch movies or play games, you
don't need ultra fast data transfer rate, because most multimedia
formats like mpeg, divx, avi, mp3, real media, mp4 are designed to
play for a long time and use low data transfer rates. When you
lower data transfer rates, it lowers disk rotation speed, lowers
noise level and extends your CD-ROM drive lifetime.
CD Speed may help if you have problems with data read, since lower
compact disk rotation speeds improve data read reliability. Also
you may want to lower the speed if you use low quality CDs that may
crash at high rotation speeds and seriously damage your CD-ROM
drive.
CD Speed works with multiple CD-ROM devices installed in the
system, it can lock, eject and load CD-ROM tray. The program
supports Microsoft Windows 95, 98, ME, Windows NT, Windows 2000 and
most new CD-ROM drives.
The latest version has a feature to keep maximum speed limits even
when other applications attempt to change it or when you change
compact disks in CD-ROM drive.
