I found a very cool page about a experiment that was done on testing G-forces in highspeed cd drives!... when the cd rom drive is spinning at 64x it goes up to 24000 rpm! Can the disc take it? Nope...

So will cd-drives now come with protective goggles? [img]smile.gif[/img]

WOW really......24000 rpm that's awsome....i should read that article....on sunday....sunday....someday... [img]graemlins/evillaughter1.gif[/img]

no wonder they are not making a 100X cd.. and i was waiting for that as well

wow! what's the use of making the cdrom that fast? 52x is good enough for me.

So at 52x my cd-rw is already approaching critical mass? eww...that's a little scary now.

Cd's? Aren't those inferior DVD's?

how do you make it go that fast...

They go that fast by charging the tiniest little cattle prods you ever did see behind a group of well motivated Hamsters.
