Optical Drive - Definition
An Optical Drive is a component used to read (and in some cases write) to optical disks like CDs and DVDs. Many optical drives can only read CDs (CD-ROM drives), others can read CDs and DVDs (DVD-ROM drives). Some optical drives can write to CDs (CD-R and CD-RW drives), and newer drives can write to DVDs (DVD-R, DVD-RAM, and DVD+RW drives). Apple has two new drives: Combo drive that handles DVD and CD RW. Superdrive DVD-R and CD RW. If you plan to use CD RW for machine backups but also want to watch DVD movies, the combo drive is best. If you have a need to burn commercial DVDs, the Superdrive would be the best choice as it offers all four options.
