Somehow able to reach 7.6x read rate on BD-100 with Asus BW-16D1HT

I am currently ripping my 4k copy of the Chernobyl miniseries using my BW-16D1HT in the Vantec enclosure, and I was pleasantly surprised to see the read rate hit a peak of 7.6x on disc 1, which is apparently a BD-100 disc. I didn't even think that kind of speed was possible with this drive while it was in the middle of a main feature rip, and haven't ever seen it go that fast on previous rips of BD-100s. All info I see online says it should top out around 6x. I did recently flash the firmware to 3.10 as the seller never did it for me like he was supposed to (just left it on 3.01 and I didn't notice till the other day). Has anyone else seen comparable speeds?
