Re: He was lucky

High speed drives (52x) had a habit of shattering disks, usually blanks being written because they were that bit thinner I guess.

More a than a few times bits of the disks were embedded within components within the case or had completely destroyed the inners of the drive. Quite scary how much energy could be put into those little disks.
