CD drive
Optical media slot
A CD drive is a device that reads compact discs, typically built into or connected to a computer.
CD drives spin the disc while a laser reads data encoded on its surface.
Early drives were read-only; later CD-RW drives could also write data to blank discs.
Once standard in computers, CD drives have largely been replaced by USB ports and cloud storage.
