MakeMKV drive speed control

I've already read this post before; it doesn't explain how some drives can read faster than their supposedly maximum speed according to their technical specifications.

Hello, I am very confused. I have a bunch of 8x DVD drives, like the HP DS-8A8SH121C-H.

What did you end up doing? Total cost and time invested? @Coopervid: could you contact me regarding a flashable Pioneer drive? I can't send PMs due to my newbieness. Thank you :wink: What is your country of residence? PM will follow then after info provided. Hello, I live in France. May I know wher...
