The speed of the optical drive is set separately for CD-ROM and DVD, and is reset at reboot and resume from suspend.

* CD-ROM: use {{cmdroot|hdparm -E num}} or {{cmdroot|eject -x num}} .
* DVD: use {{cmdroot|speedcontrol -x num}} (sourcecode [http://safari.iki.fi/speedcontrol.c here]).

For recent ThinkPad models running kernels older than 2.6.15, this may require the [[Problems_with_SATA_and_Linux#No_SMART_support libata pass-through|libata pass-through patch]].
