I depends on the drive and the firmware.

I've seen scans before where burning at lower speeds produces poorer results but that tends to be with fast discs 16X+.

Quite frequently faster discs can be burnt at say 8X or 12X without any loss of quality compared to 4X discs burnt at their maximum speed.

16X and 18X are still problematic and not recommended for quality.

It's a good exercise to study disc scans if only from the point of view of finding which discs best suit your specific writer.

I'd recommend the drive specific forums here to anyone that's interested.

LightningUK! also has extensive tests with popular writers stored at his ImgBurn forum.
