I'm using the command to copy CDROM image:

# dd if=/dev/sr0 of=./maverick.iso

But it's very slow, at about 350k bytes/sec. I've searched the google, and try the command

# hdparm -vi /dev/sr0

/dev/sr0:
 HDIO_DRIVE_CMD(identify) failed: Bad address

Seems like DMA is already on.

And a device test gives:

# hdparm -t /dev/sr0 

/dev/sr0:
 Timing buffered disk reads:    2 MB in  6.58 seconds = 311.10 kB/sec

# sudo hdparm -tT /dev/sr0 

/dev/sr0:
 Timing cached reads:     2 MB in  2.69 seconds = 760.96 kB/sec
 Timing buffered disk reads:  m  4 MB in  5.19 seconds = 789.09 kB/sec

The CD-ROM device and disc should be okay because I can copy it very fast in Windows, using UltraISO utility.

So I guess there is something not configured right in Ubuntu, is it?
