Take a BenQ - capable of reading at 16X and run a transfer test. lets say at some point the speed drops to 8X. How do we interpret this ? take another drive only capable of 8X and no speed drop occurs.

Given that Movies only need 1X I'm not sure that there is really much practical benefit in conducting TRT at 16X
