CD (compact disc) - the most common type of removable media, suitable for music and data. You can reach data very fast, but you cannot write on CD-ROMs. It can save 600-700 MB data. They are used especially for multimedia programs. (Sounds, pictures, films, etc.). CD-ROM Drive - a device used for reading data from a CD. CD Writer - a device used for both reading and writing data to and from a CD. DVD (digital versatile disc) - a popular type of removable media that is the same dimensions as a CD but stores up to 12 times as much information. It is the most common way of transferring digital video, and is popular for data storage. DVD-ROM Drive - a device used for reading data from a DVD. DVD Writer - a device used for both reading and writing data to and from a DVD. DVD-RAM Drive - a device used for rapid writing and reading of data from a special type of DVD. Blu-ray Disc - a high-density optical disc format for data and high-definition video. Can store 70 times as much information as a CD and 20 times as much information as a DVD. It can save 25-200 GB data BD-ROM Drive - a device used for reading data from a Blu-ray disc. BD Writer - a device used for both reading and writing data to and from a Blu-ray disc. USB flash drive - a flash memory data storage device integrated with a USB interface, typically small, lightweight, removable, and rewritable. Capacities vary, from hundreds of megabytes. It can save 128 MB to 128 GB data. Hard disk - for medium-term storage of data. Is a fixed storage device, which can store quite large quantity of information. A bit of information equals either zero (0) or one (1). The standard in 2011 was between 4GB and 500GB.
