    I don't know about penetrating steel... but I've had that happen to me on a regular 52x CD-ROM:

    hmm

    I believe it is quite possible.

    Consider the angular velocity of the edge of a disc, a plastic shard breaks off all of the angular velocity gets turned into instantenous linear acceleration (because the point of break constitutes a change in refrence frame). If it catches a nice point behind a suffecient shaped chunk of disc.

    Yeah....and if a tornado can shoot a piece of straw through a telephone pole, I imagine a sharp piece of plastic could make it's way through the drive's bezel.....but it DOES sound very unlikely that the plastic could penetrate the metal drive casing and continue on to damage components on a motherboard...But hey, I guess it's possible..

    I just made some calculations and at 12000rpm, witch is less then what a 52X will do, the outer edge of a CD is going at 167Mph(linear). That means a cd piece can easyly hit the cd-rom case at 150Mph.

    It's quite unlikely that it would be able to go trough the metal case, but the back is sometimes made of plastic so it may be possible.

    Believe it or not a few people actually thought I was serious in my 'Poisson d'Avril' newspost: linkage. I decided to add that last line in after a few worried responses, lol.. It's amazing what people will believe sometimes

    The pics I posted weren't a joke, so I can attest to that. It made it out partially intact, but shards of CD were stuck throughout the entire unit. This was about a year ago and I'm still using the same drive, though
