what do you all mean the cd's will shatter or brake in a 52x or greater drive i had a 56x in my other computer and i neva had a broken disc..
and also how do they brake in the drive?
You might never experience a shattered disc, I haven't either. But that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. I have heard of cases of this.
Usually it's down to a poor quality disc, that's slightly warped. If it's spun at too high a speed it can brush against the top and bottom of the CD transport mechanism and there is a small possibility of the whole thing shattering.
