Optical Disk

The document discusses optical disks, including their definition, functions, and types. It defines an optical disk as a computer storage disk that uses laser beams to read and write data digitally. The main types are outlined as CD-ROM, WORM, CD-RW, and DVD ROM. CD-ROMs are read-only, WORM disks can only be written once, CD-RWs can be written to and erased multiple times, and DVD ROMs have a larger storage capacity than CD-ROMs. The document also notes the necessity of optical disks for low-cost data transfer and their increasing importance and impact on computer science.

OPTICAL DISK
What is Optical Disk?

 An optical disk is any computer disk that uses


optical storage techniques and technology to read
and write data. It is a computer storage disk that
stores data digitally and uses laser beams
(transmitted from a laser head mounted on an
optical disk drive) to read and write data.
Optical Disk
Functions of Optical Disk

 Distribute software to customers.


 Store large amounts of data such as music, images
and videos.
 Transfer data to different computers or devices.
 Back up data from a local machine.
 For archiving data used occasionally.
 For distributing large amounts of data at low cost.
Types of optical Disk

 There are four types of optical disks-


 CD-ROM- Compact Disk Read Only Memory
 WORM – Write Once Read Many
 CD-RW -Compact Disc Re-Writable.
 DVD ROM.
CD-ROM- Compact Disk Read Only Memory

 A CD-ROM is a CD that can be read by a


computer with an optical drive. The "ROM"
part of the term means the data on the disc
is "read-only," or cannot be altered or
erased.
WORM – Write Once Read Many

 Describes a data storage device in which


information, once written, cannot be modified.
This write protection affords the assurance that
the data cannot be tampered with once it is
written to the device.
CD-RW -Compact Disc Re-Writable.

 Itis a digital optical disc storage format. A CD-RW


disc is a compact disc that can be written, read
arbitrarily many times, erased, and written again.
The technology was introduced in 1997.
DVD ROM

 Digital versatile disc-read only memory (DVD-ROM) is a


read-only digital versatile disc (DVD) commonly used for
storing large software applications. It is similar to a
compact disk-read only memory (CD-ROM) but has a larger
capacity. A DVD-ROM stores around 4.38 GB of data. A CD-
ROM usually stores 650 MB of data.
Necessity of Optical Disk

 Optical disk is necessary for low cost data transation.


 It is one of the easiest way to carry data.
 Almost every sector it is the best.
 It can create and earease data easily.
So it has very importance.
Conclusion

 The optical disk drive is a easy process of


data storage and carry. Day by day the use
of optical disk is increasing. So the optical
disk has a good effect on computer science.
