Before buying a CD / DVD

With several types of CDs and DVDs available you need to know a few things before you buy your new drive. You also want to be sure you get the disc that is most appropriate to your needs.
What do you use the disk?
If you just want to be able to play music CDs or software standard a simple CD-ROM will work fine. If you want to save smaller amounts of data onto a CD you'll need a CD burner. If you want to watch movies on your computer, you need a DVD player. Each DVD player that I have never seen as normal read CD-ROM as well. In support of larger quantities of data or archives of films, you want a DVD burner.
Do you have space for the hard drive?
Before buying your new CD or DVD, you want to be sure you have an open 5.25 "drive bay on your computer. If you have an empty bay, you also want to be sure you have the power available and IDE connections inside your case to support your new drive. If you do not have the interior space inside your computer, you can get external CD and DVD burners as well.

East-media available?
Standard fuel CD and DVD is very frequently found and available in most stores and areas. However, if you choose a new dual-layer DVD burner, be sure to check the cost and availability of media double layer of the right format for your player. Not all double-layer media will work with all dual layer discs.
