In order to write at 4X with a particular MID code, the drive has to have a write strategy in its memory for that particular speed. If the change from PS08 to PS0B did not add a strategy for 4X, you will be limited to the speeds allowed by the drive firmware engineers. They are writing only the minimum required these days because drive prices are too low to allow the extra work involved.

Since all single layer media being produced these days are rated at 16X speeds, writing at 6X or 8X should produce sufficient quality. The diodes in the SHW-160P6S are sturdier than the ones in the SOHW-1633S; so there should be no reduction in quality at 8X speeds.

According to the experiences of a test lab, your drive has expended approximately one tenth of its life. 20,000 "burns," that is, complete recordings of a single layer disc, is the average for the drives they record until they drop.
