Yeah, I saw a Myth Busters episode where they tried to detonate a CD by spinning really fast (Like as fast as the higher speed drives). It's true, they will shatter.
Actually, not at all "like the higher speed drives." The MythBusters actually attached CDs to a Dremel, iirc, and spun them up to 40k RPMs or so before the discs shattered. A retail 52x drive spins at 10k RPMs. Their final conclusion was that it was only plausable for the CDs to shatter in a highspeed consumer drive if the disc was already damaged.

[Edit: fixed some numbers on drive speed] [/b][/quote]
Not just already damaged. I personaly had a cd-rom drive that did made explode bran new cd.

Are you are assuming that new CD's are always flawless? they should be, but... if companies made perfect appliances no one would need after sales service.
