I remember my x52 drive would make at least 2 or 3 "test" spins every time I'd insert a disk, just to see how fast it can spin it. It felt like an airplane taking off every time I'd put a new scratch-less disk. I had one year warranty on that drive. This "feature" stopped working exactly one week after my warranty expired, it would just go full speed regardless of how beaten the disks were. That's how I got two of my heavily scratched disks shatter. A few more weeks down the road, the function that's supposed to slow down a disk before a full stop, also stopped working... so now even if a disk was spinning at x52 inside and you'd press the eject button, it would instantly stop the motor and eject it! That's when I finally threw it away and got myself a "normal" x46 or x44 (don't remember) drive...
