About Nero DriveSpeed
Among other things, Nero DriveSpeed allows you to adjust the read speed of discs, e.g. to
make a perceptible reduction in the noise level, which can be helpful in games and when
playing back music. The spin-up and spin-down times of the drives can also be optimized so
that damaged files can still be read, for example, or game discs can be accessed with
greater speed.
