That depends completely on what exactly you're asking about: Read Speed, Write Speed, Re-Write Speed, Spin-up Speed, Access time, Transfer Speed, etc.

Until there's some clarification of the question, I'd have to say that the fastest Optical Drive would be ones located in jet planes...they frequently go over 600mph! ;)
