Modern drives often have a firmware table of recognized medium and
maximum burn speeds. For media they do not recognize, they have a 
default value, often 16x.

If you're using BrandX, that may explain what you're seeing. Try media 
recommended by the driev manufacturer, then major brands, then see what 
will deliver the quality, speed and price you want.
