Hi all I have a newer MBP and the superdrive sure seems like a turtle. The fastest it ever writes using toast is about 3x for a DVD and 5x for a CD, regardless of media type. So is that it? Thanks! ps. I have a 15" 2.2 mbp running leopard 10.5.2 and a Matshita UJ-857e installed.

Don't you mean tortoise? I've seen turtles run crazy fast.
I noticed the superdrives take a while to rev up. After a while of constant use they seem to get faster.

SHAWN, i suppose u are right, but my turtle runs at 3x to 5x which seems pretty slow for a writer these days...the laptop this one replaced had a writer that did more like 6x to 24x with the same media, but that was with XP and Nero. Cheers!

It might be because they're slot loading. I have a 10 year old tray drive that speeds up faster lol.
It also depends on your media.
Go to system profiler, insert your media and hit disc burning. It will show you the max speed for that media.
