So I just burned a movie to a CD-R and watched it. Yet afterwards, when I attempted to remove it from the tray, I suddenly noticed a rather disturbing amount of heat radiating from the CD. Sufficient to say, I had to let the thing cool a bit before I could touch it :Q

Methinks that this is a bit unusual, no?

Anyway, it's a Lite-on CD-RW (16x10x40). I'll try using a CD with this drive and see whether it gets 'hot' again :)

[edit]: tried it again and it's still crispy afterwards :) a bit less warm, but still too warm for my taste.

So... should I water-cool my CD-drive? :D

Friction from the CD spinning...


I think you can get a program that slows the spin rate of your CD drive
if it is a real problem ..

Or get some oven mitts ;)

Give it a better ventilation by rearranging or removing nearby bay cover. Friend's external HP writer heats up the disk even after sitting for hours without spinning. The heat comes from IC's and motor driver when it's spinning fast. All the heat is transferred to bottom or top of the drive. If you give it a good air flow at bottom(usually) plate, it cools ok. When the heat couldn't dissipate, your whole drive heats up just like you noticed.
