I have a new Plextor 4012a and it' taking almost 30 min to read a disk. I have tried the read at AUTO and from 24x down to 8x. All take about the same time.

SPECS: CPU is a Duron 700mh, IBM 40GIG 7200RPM Dirve, 512RAM, Direct X 8.1, clean lazer lens, 1.6GIG free disk space for BIN file, using the MTU driver, searched the forums and have EVEN read the manual.

Also, EZCD Creator 5 Plat says my drives extraction speed is 18x for audio. It reads anbd writes fine as does Nero.

Any clues at all?
