Read More about CD/DVD Drive or Burner

More and more laptop computers are making a CD-ROM or a DVD-ROM drive or even a burner into standard features on high-level configurations. When the drive combines several of these functions, it is called a "combo".

There are different types of CD (with a capacity of about 700 Mb) and DVD (with a capacity of about 4.7 Gb) burners.

  • The term "CD-R" refers to recordable compact disks
  • The term "CD-RW" refers to rewritable compact disks
  • The term "DVD-R" refers to recordable DVDs
  • The term "DVD-RAM" refers to rewritable DVDs Thus, there are two incompatible standards promoted by different manufacturer consortiums:
    • DVD+RW, by Philips, that have performances in terms of recording time that are generally slightly better than the DVD-RW format
    • DVD-RW, which cost slightly less than DVD+RWs

It should be noted that some burners support both of these standards and thus are called "multi-format" burners.
