Creating a Data Disc
A data disc is a disc that
contains computer files. Computer files can include a wide
variety of data including word-processed documents, spreadsheets, multimedia files
including music, video clips, images, and more. Discs are extremely convenient for
storing data as they can hold large quantities. CDs can hold up to 700MB of data, while
DVDs, BDs and HD DVDs can hold gigabytes of data. Since recordable/rewritable discs
are relatively inexpensive, they are quick and convenient way of backing up computer
systems. As an added bonus, their compactness allows for easy storage and
transportation.
