what is the meaning of cd-rw
Compact Disc ReWritable (CD-RW) logo/trademark. CD-RW (Compact Disc-ReWritable) is a digital optical disc storage format. A CD-RW disc is a compact disc that can be written, read arbitrarily many times, erased and written again. The technology was introduced in 1997. CD-RW discs (CD-RWs) require readers that have more sensitive laser optics than plain CDs. Consequently, CD-RWs cannot be read in many CD readers built prior to the introduction of CD-RW. CD-ROM drives that bear a MultiRead certification claim compatibility.
