Doubtful that its Firewire connection. Possible, but unlikely.
The more likely solution is that the media you are using is not recognized by the drive as capable of writing at 8x.
If you are using the stock firmware, then only a few media types are supported at 8x.
If you could post the media code of the media, someone could give you a better indication if that's the problem.
If it is an issue where the media is not recognized by the firmware to be capable of 8x, you could either update to the latest official NEC firmware (which may have added it) or update to Herrie's beta firmware, which will allow you to write at 8x on practically all media.
