i really wouldn't recommend burning media beyond it's rated speed for backups or anything critical.
it is likely to cause interchange (i.e. between different drives) and stability problems. the speed
media is rated at is based partially on an acceptable error rate, which you don't want to exceed
Most media is set at a top burn rate for the reasons you state. That's not want I want. I want to be able to take advantage of media that is rated at a faster burn speed. I may be wrong on this point but I think because of firmware, my Pioneer 106 has a top speed of 4x for DVD, so I can only burn DVD media at 4x. After i update the firmware, I will supposedly be able to burn at 8x on media that is rated at 8x.
