CD’s and DVD’s

Compact Discs (CD’s) store computer information optically. CD’s are portable. Prior to the USB drive, CD‘s were frequently used when more space was needed than was available on a floppy. A CD can hold 720 MB. This is equivalent to 500 floppy disks or 200,000 pages of text.

Digital Versatile Discs (DVD’s) also store computer information optically. A DVD looks exactly like a CD. However, DVD’s have much more storage capacity than CD’s: 4.7 GB compared to 720 MB.

A compact disc drive (CD drive) reads information from CD’s and writes information to CD’s

1. CD-ROM drive is short for Compact Disc-Read-Only Memory drive. CD-ROM drives can only read information from a CD, not write to a CD. CD-ROM drives are sometimes called CD-ROM players.

2. CD-R drive is short for Compact Disc-Recordable drive. CD-R drives read from and write to CD’s. You cannot write to any CD, only to a type of CD called a CD-R. CD-R drives are also called CD burners. Each CD-R can only be used once.

3. CD- RW drive is short for Compact Disc-ReWritable drive. CD-RW drives read from, write to and rewrite to CD’s. Rewrite means to erase and write over previously saved information. Rewriting is standard for floppy disks and hard drives. You cannot rewrite to any CD, only to a CD-RW.

Note: You can use any type of CD drive to play an audio CD.
