Using an optical drive

An optical drive, such as a DVD-ROM drive, supports optical discs (CDs and DVDs). These discs store

or transport information and play music and movies. DVDs have a higher storage capacity than CDs.

All optical drives can read from optical media and some drives can also write to optical media, as

described in the following table.
