neither of those reasons. I have found through experience that it can mean the difference between readable and unreadable when a disc is played in another player, especially an older one. At 1X the melting is a little deeper and can allow some older players to read the disc while it would start skipping on playback when the disc was recorded at a higher speed I am not sure but I believe that your not being able to record at 1X could be an issue with the drive. I have a new IBM Intellistation Z Pro and I have noticed that the lower speeds aren't even available for recording but on an older Pentium III with an older Yamaha SCSI CD recorder and SuSE 8.0 I record at 1X Damon Register
