(i). CD-RW drives & media are expensive/more costly than CD-R drives.
(ii). CD-RW are slower than CD-R & CD-ROM drives.
It takes about 1hr to format CD-RW discs & about ½ an hour to copy 250 MB of data to the disc, while CD-R discs take a few minutes to format and have the same write time.
(iii). Data can be read and written to CD-RW discs only by CD-RW drives.
(iv). CD-RW drives are currently facing stiff competition from the DVD-Recordable (DVD-R) because the DVD-R can store more information than CD-RW.
Note. Both CD-RW & CD-R can be read by standard CD-ROM drives.
