how to find dvd speed

[toughwimp11]

i have a dvd-rom drive and i need to find the read speed. under "DVD?CD-ROM drives" tab in the device manager it says "HL-DT-ST DVD-ROM GDR8161B". i clicked on properties but there is no sign of the read speed. any thoughts on how to find the read speed?

You can download Nero , and use the "CD-DVD Speed" utility that comes with it.

Google says that it's a 16x/48x drive. (DVD/CD speeds)
