Re: Exploding Cd!!!!!!
If you still have them, put all the bits in a plastic sealable bag & post them off to the manufacturer & ask for a replacement.
Quote the sale of goods act & being fit for the purpose etc

Haha yeah, I saw that too. IIRC they said it was plausible due drives being able to spin the discs faster than their physical limitations but very very unlikely to happen. All iirc though ofc

Put a disc in but then decided to eject it. I did not realise it was still spinning and as soon as I touched it it went crazy and span off  |

100x cd-roms don't really run at 100x it kind of cheats by caching to the hdd

Re: Exploding Cd!!!!!!
High-speed drives stress the CD - especially if it's not balanced. This causes micro-fractures radiating from the hole in the middle, which over time can cause the CD to shatter. It's more than possible that shards will be ejected from the drive at high speed - watch your jugular
It might be a myth but I heard that MS CD's are prone to it

The main vein stays intact!
My Jugular`s fine mate!
All the bits were contained in the drive, the only time i`ve seen this before was with Artec Drives a few years ago.

Re: Exploding Cd!!!!!!
One of the Copyright companies made dvd discs that would play ok in a correct dvd player, but in a pc drive that spins faster would shatter.....nice!
