Is 1x write speed the same for WORM and rewritable media?

If we take all other things being equal, at a write of 1x, is the write in terms of Kb/S the same for write once media as it is for rewritable media?

 

 

I realize it may differ depending on the media format.  e.g. it might be the same for a DVD writable disc but not for a CD.  But, in general, with all things taken equally, say, is 1x write speed the same speed on a DVD-R as it it on a DVD-RW?  :unsure:

Now, for a similar question.  :)

 

 

Is 1x read the same speed as 1x write?  In terms of Kb/S.  I would think a read operation is faster than a write operation.  With a read, you're just copying data to a buffer.  In a write, you're "physically moving" objects.  Sort of like how in DOS days a Move operation is faster than a Copy operation because with the Copy you have to first read the full data and then write a second copy somewhere else.
