CD-ROM Drives
Digital audio is stored on a CD in almost the same way as computer data. Which is why the CD-ROM (Read Only Memory) was developed and launched around 1985. Like the audio CD the disc has a diameter of 12 cm and a storage capacity of 650 to 700 MB - equivalent to 450 floppy disks or more than 250,000 typed A4 pages. A CD-ROM allows fast data access and has a very high reliability. -
