Reading of the DVD drive. If I copy large data off a disk and move it to my hard drive it can take up 15-20 minutes.

It is a Sony DVD burner. I had this same drive in my old PC and it was slow until I made a registry tweak to it, Then it was nice and fast. However its been some time ago and I don't remember that tweak.
