A CD-ROM (also known as a data CD) is a compact disc used to store computer data.
- CDs (Compact discs) were originally developed for the music industry. They use small disks identical to the ones that hold music to hold computer information.
- They have higher storage capacities than traditional Magnetic disks.
The current CDs can hold about 650 MB of data compared to the 3.5” floppy diskette, which can only hold 1.44 MB of data.
This storage capability enables programmers and other data distributors to write more sophisticated programs for computer users, because they are no longer limited by data storage space.
