[ltp] Dangers in setting "CD-ROM" speed to "high?"

[Mitchell Gil Maltenfort]

Hello!

I was mucking with my BIOS power options to make sure my laptop doesn't try to hibernate -- it can only suspend, because I wiped the DOS and Windows partitions.

I noticed in the power options that it was possible to set CD-ROM speed to "high." and I decided to enable that to reap possible benefits.

A cursory web search didn't turn up possible dangers -- though I am wondering if the issue is merely one of power drain, or if it's possible to damage my CD-R/DVD somehow with this option.

Any advice?
