the sheriff’s secret police will be along shortly for OP with tickets for a free mandatory vacation to the sheriff’s secret luxury reeducation center and spa. speaking about the sheriff’s secret luxury reeducation center and spa is forbidden.
Something called “Ask Leo” does say there’s a high risk of a disk shattering when spun above 48x, which is apparently equivalent to 24000 RPM. However, I can’t vouch for the credibility of this site any more than I can for the person who originally made that claim to me (except that I think it was my dad and he was usually pretty dependable).
Apparently Mythbusters demonstrated that a disk will shatter at 30000 RPM but, as sometimes happens, their methodology was criticized. This, it seems, is because they spun the disk on a Dremel rather than in a more realistic environment.
Not only we burned CDs, we also RIPPED them
You should not be speaking of this!!

“Rip. Mix. Burn.”
Instead of the sound of a chainsaw, it’s the sound of a 70x drive on the verge of exploding
I thought the disks would shatter if spun much above 42x …
But I was told that many moons ago so maybe my information is outdated. Or maybe it was just never accurate.
I mean, I think technically the “x” is the read speed, and not necessarily indicative of what the maximum RPM is.
Ah, I was always told that ##x was how many times faster than some classic model of cd drive the disk was spun.
I always thought listening to music was 1x = 76 minutes, so a 4x cd burner would burn a disc in like 4 minutes…
Based on a few things, we were both right. Primarily I’m going to reference this (which corroborates what you said, except it claims 74 minutes):

24,000rpm is INSANELY fast. That’s 400 rotations per second.
