Default Silent/Inaudible Optical Drives
Anyone know any?

This includes drives that come with software to control their speeds. Please share the knowledge!

When you say optical drives that help you control the noise you've had that fetcher forever. Since the only time one uses an optical drive at full speed is when he is first acessing discs or when he is burning something. All you have to do is turn down the burn speed. Although i know for a fact that plextor drives are known to be quiet I personally use two pioneer drives. SUCH nice drives. SO MUCH better than the Lite-on crap

I have 6 (Asus, LiteOns, Samsung) optical drives... and they all make spinup sound. I basically want no sound even at the cost of a few seconds of load time. I want a drive for read only basically.
