So for now the best guess is that the drive does not like the medium.

The specs say that DVD+R and BD-R can have more than one track
open for writing. This implies that the tracks can stand it
when writing pauses on the one track, while the other track is
being written.

They all have since years. But it gets into effect only if the
burn program sends a data structure called "mode page 05".
This is appropriate only for CD and DVD-. The specs say that
the drive shall ignore it with any other media type.
(They obviously obey, because last time i looked into the -V
 output of cdrecord, it still sent mode page 05 to DVD+RW.)

If the BD-R is formatted and checkreading is not disabled (which
growisofs does not do) then the drive will pause with writing after
about half of a drive buffer (e.g. 1 MB) and checkread that piece
of freshly written data.
This reduces effective speed to less than half nominal speed.
Especially it would not work if buffer underruns would be an issue.

This outrules the USB 3 timeout problems, which seem to happen with
some drives and some kernels.
Other operating system spacific problems are not known to me currently.

If it helps, then it is not about a buffer underrun but rather
about the physical quality of the laser and the media dye.

(I am still curious why Dominque reduces his drive's speed regularly.)


Have a nice day :)
