High data transfer rate
The rate is a multiple of 150kbps, which was the first rate achieved on a CD 2x, 4x, 56x etc. can be written as 4x/8x/48x CR-RW, meaning the relative speeds for writing to a rewritable disc, to a normal CR-R and for reading data. In that case it's understood to mean data transfer rate and only the multiples are stated.
In most cases "high rate" would do.

Comment: "OK, I guess what you mean is that this "high speed" refers to any speed that is faster than the standard (including 2x, 4x, etc.).
Thanks

high-speed or high speed
"高倍速" here is "high-speed" or "high speed", as you see the bilingual pages of a DVD disk manufacture.
Your second guess is correct. More information can be found in the following Panasonic page:

: I translated it as "high speed multiple" until I found out what the base rate was.

Higher speed
Speed higher than conventional speed of various kinds.

: higher-speed. The trouble is that the dividing line keeps shifting.

high(er)-speed
Nobuo's answer gave me a start because, when certain of my client use the term, they define a dividing line above which error correction and the like have to take a back seat. Alas, a recent manual compared 1x and 64x and said nothing about the speeds/rates in the middle.
For most contexts, however, I find "high-speed" sufficiently vague to match the Japanese, which usually doesn't bother with the actual X numbers anyway.
