    What you have there is a hard disk drive. In order to fit it into the CD drive (or Compact Disk drive) you need to first compact it! A hydraulic press is the preferred method.

                    Yup. Really nice bearings. I also have a few HDD magnets that work well as hold-downs for laser cutting.

                      Put it back into its CD drive, the one on the table that you took apart for no reason at all, and it’ll work a treat, I promise.

                          Putting it in the freezer might shrink it down a bit.

                            Because it's the wrong size

                                      Hard disks may fragment when one tries to compact them. It will need to be defragmented afterwards.

                                      Softer disks are more amenable to be compressed into compact disks, floppy ones work best.
