    It seems it does not spin down and is running at maximum speed all the time even when watching a DVD. Very loud. Latest firmware A103. Nero Drive Speed 3.0 does not seem to be compatible with this drive:

    Read speed: maximum is the only option. Current: unknow
    Another Read Speed (below the first): nothing, greyed out
    Spin Down Time: nothing, greyed out

    Anyone else having the same? Normal?

    T11N is a cheap version of T10N and is not supporting DVD-RAM, LG is now on T20N but better is to go for Lite-On SSM-85H5S with Light Scribe. All LG drives are loud.
