CD-ROM

(Compact Disc Read-Only Memory)

A Compact Disc Read-Only Memory (CD-ROM) is a type of optical disc used to store digital data. CD-ROMs were widely used for distributing software, games, and multimedia content before the advent of USB drives and online distribution.

CD-ROMs have a storage capacity of up to 700 MB and are read using a CD-ROM drive. While their usage has declined with the rise of cloud storage and streaming services, CD-ROMs played a significant role in the evolution of data storage and distribution. They remain a symbol of the early days of personal computing.
