I am new to data hoarding and have been wanting to archive my stuff for long term storage. I bought a suitcase of various discs from Japan. All HTL in-organic. I have Victor "M-DISC", Sony 128gb 4 layer, Mitsubishi "MABL"....

Anyway I just started out, and I'm 5 discs in, no big deal, but I realised my software is set to burn at max speed, which for these discs seems to be around 5.8x

It's only when I investigated the Japanese packaging later that I realised it says speed 2-4x.

I'm using an asus bw-16d1hu-u. The discs I have burned so far have passed the verification check.

TLDR: Burning 2-4x discs at 6x - have I fucked up? Should I re-write those at 4x?

Does writing at a higher speed for example impact the ability for the laser to properly etch the surface which may show up in long term aging vs. burning at a slower rate?
