1. A protective cover that holds an optical disk while it is being read or written to. Caddies are often used in professional settings to prevent damage to disks.
2. A subdivision on an optical storage device that holds and stores data, typically with a storage capacity of 512 bytes.
3. The rate at which an optical storage device revolves. A faster revolution rate allows for quicker reading and writing of data.
4. A type of optical storage device that can be written to and erased multiple times.
5. A high-definition optical storage device that uses a blue laser to read and write data to a disk. It has a much larger storage capacity than DVDs.
6. A small amount of memory on an optical disc drive that temporarily stores data before it is written to or read from the disk.
7. A device that emits a beam of light that is used to read and write data on an optical storage device.
8. A type of optical storage device that uses a laser to read data stored on compact disks (CDs).
9. A type of optical storage device that can be written to once, but data cannot be erased or modified.
10. The capacity of an optical storage device to bounce back light. A greater capacity leads to enhanced accuracy in reading data.
11. A type of optical storage device that can only be read, not written to or erased.
12. The duration required for an optical storage device to find and obtain data. Decreased duration allows for faster retrieval of data.
13. A concentric circle on an optical storage device that contains multiple sectors.
14. A device that reads and writes data to optical storage devices such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-Ray disks.
15. The storage capacity of an optical storage device is based on the quantity of data that can be stored in a specific area. Greater storage capacity indicates the ability to store a larger amount of information on the device.
16. A type of data storage device that uses light to read and write data to a disk or other storage medium.
