Buy a decent DVD drive, either Toshiba or Pioneer.  Main difference is noise, and performance is pretty damn good, with lots of small files as well.

8x CD-RW write.




That is, rewriting speed, as opposed to just writing to rewritable CDs :-)

My Teac IDE CD-RW drive can write at 24 speed (writes a full CD in four minutes), never had a 'bad' CD (not properly burnt or whatever) with it, it's silent, and it doesn't mind me doing stuff in the backround.  I like :-)

@ JetRacer

A firmware patching job is the only thing I can think of that *might* be able to do it.
