G4 Cube DVD slow speed issue? A reader reports that the transfer rate of CDs in the DVD-ROM drive of a G4 Cube is much slower (150K/sec at best) than from a DVD-ROM drive in a Power Mac G4. We have not had other reports of this. However, the reader did get confirmation of this from Apple Support: "Our tech person did have the same results as you. So now what he is doing is contacting the engineers in Cupertino to find out exactly which drive we have in the machine and why the discrepancies in time between a G4 and a Cube if both are rated as 24X."

On a similar note, the DVD drive in my Sawtooth 400 is very inconsistent...
Sometimes it is agonisingly slow, other times fine...
It reads DVD's fine, so...
