Lots of mass on compliant suspension, to get a low 'Q', is the way to go, I reckon
With any rotating/planar storage system (analogue or optical disc), lateral vibes are the most destructive, and the most problematic.
Most of the infra/sub-sonic movmement in buidings (excited by traffic and seismic activity) is in this mode, and it's difficult to kill.
Mass-on-rollers is good way of transforming them into higher amplitude, very low (i.e. less than 4Hz) frequencies which won't interfere with reading or writing from a disc. (Pretty much how modern skyscrapers are built to deal with earthquakes).
But let's not get carried away(!) - in terms of a CD burner, any suspension is a good idea, quite apart from having the burner on it's own PSU.
