Optical Discs Vs. Other Storage Devices: Understanding Data Storage Technologies
Optical discs, such as CDs and DVDs, store data in a circular, disc-shaped format. They are commonly used for data storage and retrieval. However, there are also other storage devices that utilize different technologies, such as hard disk drives (HDDs), solid-state drives (SSDs), and USB flash drives. These devices may not resemble discs physically but perform similar functions of storing and retrieving data.
