yeah - the drive probably has a "min read speed" - you may be able to find a utility on www.rpc1.org that allows you to step down the speed by altering the firmware, but don't hold your breath.you may want to know though - the reason 3X may be the min speed may be the drive is optimised to read at max accuracy at this speed. with modern drives, slower is not necessarily better - it may introduce more jitter and the motor is not optimised to spin that slowly :-)
