Problem
Solutions: CD-ROM (Compact Disc Read-Only Memory): A CD-ROM is a computer peripheral device that employs compact disc (CD) technology to store large amounts of data for later retrieval. Philips and Sony developed CD-ROM in 1983. As a Read-Only data storage medium, CD-ROM is capable of storing digitized text, data, images, and sound. Current CD-ROM discs can hold 680 megabytes of information. That's the equivalent of more than 275,000 printed pages of text, 74 minutes of audio, or 1800 double-density diskettes. Although CD-ROM drives access data randomly, their typical data transfer rates are substantially less than the data transfer rates of most common hard disks. The physical controller interface for CD-ROM drives varies, but the Popular Small Computer Systems Interface (SCSI) is clearly dominant. |
