Slow to start DVD CD ROM

I have just built a new system and have noticed that access to the CD Rom drive is very slow to start with. The cursor freezes while the drive gets going. I have run a system test with SiSoft Sandra and it indicates the following for my Maxtor 6 L06J3 HD and my Liteon DVD-ROM LTD163 (both EIDE new drives)
SCSI version does not adhere to ANSI. Probably ATI/ATAPI device.
