But ceramic plates can probably be put into a working enclosure to get the data from it again

Just like how if you put a shattered CD in an apparatus, you can still use a laser reader to recover any data on the undamaged sections.

Though, because data is recorded in a circular pattern at high speeds, you won't get much. Or what you get will have lots of corruption. I wonder what pattern of storage these plates use? If it's similar to SSDs, then large files can be nested in a very small area of space - increasing the chances of recovery.
