It's specced as a 4X read.  The write specs appear to be around 6X,
actually, when it's in PD mode.  Can't verify it one way or another,
as it's variable. The PD mode specs are noticeably quick:

Seek:   165ms
Data rate:  518-1141 K/sec

As opposed to CD-ROM 4X mode:

Seek:  195ms
Data rate:  600K/sec
