The MO drives that I've used (these old 1.3GB disks) were nowhere
that slow. The speed like of a 10-year-old hard disk can be expected
from them. So I'd say that 5 minutes is a large overkill, something
like 5 seconds would be more appropriate. Of course unless this
particular model has a very large write chache.
