Could probably make a hard drive spin faster and still work. The catch is that it might break a lot faster if the drive is not balanced enough to run at 10k rpm. The ones that actually run at 10k and still work are extremely expensive - it's hard to make something with that level of precision.

You can do the same thing with CD drives, though the results tend to be disastrous.
