Well what speed does the drive do CD-R and what speed does it do CD-RW.
The drive always has different speeds for the two types.

In my experience, the CD-RW speed is either, 1-4x or 4-10x or something
higher.

If the media says 4-12x, then it requries a drive that is CD-RW
highspeed compatible, not one that does 1-4x CD-RW.

What model is the CD writer?

I suspect it is probably getting harder to find media for the old CD-RW
drives that only do up to 4x.  Of course with the price of a modern CD
writer, who cares?
