I have one that's mostly broken, which isn't a surprise as I took it from e-waste.
When I tried to burn a disc with it, it suddenly started accelerating out of control and I had to kill the power to it. It almost shattered the disc:
Clearly that wasn't burning it quite well.
But there's another interesting thing. It won't read CDs. Except, somehow, VLC manages to get something out of it. It's earrape, and the recording from VLC ends up corrupted, but FFMPEG can still process it as raw audio (and so can aplay).
Here's a sample:

Audio should embed on desktop:
You should get one of those jet turbine 72x drives. I bet that could finish the job and shatter the disc all the way.
This sounds like The Cure or something gothy playing through a 30s AM radio then transmitted to me by neighbour through our tin can phone system.
Someone should run it through some distortion filters and maybe adjust some timings so it keeps a consistent beat. (I swear a hear a drum-machine version of a kick drum keeping beat there already)
Raw blackened pop-punk.
It's a shame you haven't got more of it :D
… I kind of like that actually.
Look out, you've got specialized equipment to generate an ａｅｓｔｈｅｔｉｃ now! 😎
