Yes, the media advertises itself as 8x. But it may be defective. Or the drive may not write properly at this speed. The short answer is - most probably bad media.
I've burned another two Maxell 1-4x speed DVD+R at speed 8x without any problem. Surprisingly, I can also read the old disc which was originally unreadable. The problem probably wasn't related to burning. The media seems to be reliable. It's interesting that not only the Maxell's media labeled as 1-4x can be burned at 8x speed but also they are recommended by Plextor. -- A.M.
