High capacity, laser storage system which reads optical disks.
Optical drives, or media drives, let you read and/or write optical data discs, such as CDs or DVDs. CDs can hold up to 700MB of data, and DVDs can hold up to 4.70GB of data.
Computer drive that has lasers to see and read data on optical discs, such as CDs and DVDs.
A type of storage drive that uses a laser to read data from a spinning disc which includes CD's, CDR, CDRW, DVD, DVD-RW, DVD RAM etc.
A secondary storage medium for computers. Information is stored on high-density disks in the form of tiny pits "read" by laser.
a device that allows you to read and write onto an optical medium
Drive that writes information with a laser to create read-only media such as a CD-ROM.
An internal device that reads and transfers data to a CD or DVD. Examples include CD-ROM, CD-RW, DVD-ROM, DVD-ROM with CD-RW, CD-RW/DVD combo drive and double-layer multi-format DVD writer (DVD±/R±RW/CD-R/RW).

A storage device that uses light to store data instead of magnetism, suchas CD-ROM, CD-RW or DVD-ROM. It is usually written by a laser. » To top of page PCI Expansion (internal) A slot into which a PCI card may be plugged in order to allow anotherdevice to be added to the computer via a cable, such as an Ethernet or USB card.
Any medium or device using a laser beam for accessing data stored on an optical disc. Typical optical drives are CD drives and videodisc drives.
The part used to seek, read, and write data on an optical disc. An optical drive may reside in an optical library or as a stand-alone unit.
n. A disk drive that reads and often can write data on optical (compact) discs. Examples of optical drives include CD-ROM drives and WORM disk drives. See also CD-ROM drive, compact disc, WORM.
