It's weird that you (and some others on the thread, haven't read it
all) say it doesn't work with dvd drives, I have a DVD/CD drive (LG
Super multi, I think it's called) and both hdparm and eject works for
me for setting the speed, eg.:
hdparm -E 2 /dev/hdc
and
eject -t -x 2 (which also closes the tray)
both work for me.
