You'll have to try it. Since write speed is a marketing point the official value can't be trusted. Half that speed is probably reliable. For the rest, AFAIK, it's a matter of your system being able to provide the data in time. There's some buffering the drive, but that can only handle so much delay.
I recall a study where they spun disks at speeds faster than 52x. The result was that they disintegrated. It's probable that they set 52x as the max due to the structural integrity of the disks, not due to other limitations while writing.
Google is not being friendly so I can't find it, but it was on slashdot ages ago.
