Blu-ray drive
High-definition disc player
A Blu-ray drive is an optical disc drive that reads Blu-ray discs, the high-capacity format that succeeded DVDs for high-definition video.
Most Blu-ray drives also read CDs and DVDs.
Some can write to recordable Blu-ray discs: I burned the wedding footage to disc using my Blu-ray drive.
Found in computers and game consoles, though increasingly replaced by streaming and downloads.
