CD-ROM

=CD-ROM (Compact Disc- Read-only Memory)=

A CD-ROM is a compact disc that contains data that can be accessed but cannot be written on. Basically you can only look at the information that has been saved on the disk, but you can not add more information on it. The CD-ROM is used to distribute computer software, including multimedia applications. It can store up to 1GB of data, but the regular ones store 650MB of data. The CD-ROM is stamped by a vendor to store data. After it has been stamped, the data can't be deleted. Other information also may not be added. The CD-ROM is good for storing big files like videos.
