Do you need a drive with the ability to "burn" or is reading enough?
As far as I know, all drives that can handle DVDs also handle CDs.
There are a whole lot of different kinds of drives:
- CD, read-only - CD, read / write - CD & DVD, read-only - CD read / write, DVD read-only - CD read / write, DVD read-write
There was a war about the way writeable DVDs should work. The two standards were DVD-R and DVD+R. <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD_recordable#DVD+R_and_DVD+RW_(DVD_%22plus%22)> I think DVD+R won. Usually you don't have to worry about this.
Then there are some drives that can handle BluRay discs. --- Post to this mailing list talk@gtalug.org Unsubscribe from this mailing list https://gtalug.org/mailman/listinfo/talk
