a reminder that some CD drives in the early 2000s reached high read speeds by just spinning CDs so fast they would sometimes shatter in the drive, and some manufacturers compensated for this with reinforced fronts
http://www.qedata.se/e_js_n-cdrom.htm and these magnificent people ran an experiment on when various media would shatter
tl;dr, if you want shards of plastic fired at you at half the speed of sound, old 50+-speed CD drives are where it's at
