Using optical discs

Optical discs (CDs, DVDs, and BDs) store information such as music, photos, and movies. DVDs and
BDs have a higher storage capacity than CDs.
Your optical drive can read standard CD and DVD discs. If your optical drive is a BD drive, it can also
read Blu-ray Discs.
NOTE: Some of the optical drives listed may not be supported by your computer. The listed drives are
not necessarily all of the supported optical drives.
Some optical drives can also write to optical discs as described in the following table.
