he guy's a dedicated marketer.
I usually don't want to question someone's intelligence in public, but considering your attacks I will make an exception.
A marketer would never try to reach the masses through hidden discussions on a small Amiga forum. People will specifically have to look for it or be linked to those discussions like is the case in here (which you applaud, not me).
On topic:
I did a little bit of research and albeit there are some small differences between drive specifications, it seems all 360 drives are 16 speed drives (SL).
Sadly there seems to be no manuals online currently with regard to the 360 drives, but I think it can be assumed they function similarly as other 16x drives.
Some specifications documents regarding Toshiba drives:

5,540 - 13,500 KByte/s (DVD, Dual Layer) for one of the x16 DVD drives.
Of course considering the 6.8 game data capacity, which is much lower than for a full normal DL DVD, worst case seektimes and average data transfer will be a little better. If they would have gone for 5 GB for example, they could have improved the averages further, for example.
