As have I and some of them wee not the best, and/or slightly warped from
the manufacturer so the disc was not completely clear of the tray when

I remember there was a utility to limit the CD drive's speed, maybe
imaginatively called cdspeed? I remember I typically set speed to 4x or
8x.

In fact, I remember I even bought someone's old 8x drive when those were
hopelessly outdated compared to the newfangled 48x drives. Which spent
so much time spinning up and down that for short reads they were way
slower that 8x.
