CD-ROM/CD-R/DVD/Data Storage

While the humble CD-ROM drive continues to perform its duties well, a number of other devices have arrived over the last few years that build on its strengths. CD-R/CD-RW drives can read CD-ROMs as well as write data to discs, providing the user with a huge amount of personal and portable storage space.
DVD drives are faster while storing many times more data than CD-ROMs and are not much more expensive. DVD drives can also play CD-ROM discs. The most popular media available in DVD are movies. Some software is available on DVD but the vast majority is still published on CD-ROM.
