Optical Drive
An optical drive is a type of drive that uses laser light to read from and store data on optical
discs. Optical discs are commonly used to read, store, transfer or share data, especially for
media-rich content. Typically, your optical drive should be able to access most common optical
discs such as CDs and DVDs. The optical drive that comes with your notebook depends on the
notebook configurations you purchase.
