CD writers
Optical disc recorders
CD writers are devices that record data onto compact discs, also called CD burners.
The technology emerged in the 1990s as a consumer product, allowing users to create music compilations, back up files, or distribute software.
I burned a mix CD on my old CD writer.
Largely obsoleted by USB drives and cloud storage.
