This article focuses mainly on computer drives. Is it possible to add a section, or perhaps a separate article, on stand-alone CD recorders? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 24.149.203.252 ( talk) 11:25, 4 October 2007 (UTC)
Not sure if this can come up before but is it "disc" or "disk" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 60.234.146.141 ( talk) 01:49, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

Hello I want to do something new regarding the CD/DVD media articles and other closely-related information for optical discs to make things a bit more neater and lil more official than it already is. What I mean by this is maybe moving, deleting and modifying unrequired articles such as DVD-R and DVD+R putting them together as one, as well as other optical media disk types. I also found this article called Disk storage which does not look good at all, is small and requires a little more information. These are just suggestions and I do not want to delete any sort of information however making the articles easily readable and accessible. Xangel 13:30, 10 August 2007 (UTC)
Article DVD recorder overlaps significantly with this. Needs to be merged or otherwise refactored. Comments? — Quarl ( talk) 2006-01-15 09:45 Z
On a closer look, the two articles are really talking about different things. Optical disc recorder only mentions DVD recorder drives, whereas the DVD recorder article actually covers stand-alone set-top boxes which record broadcast video onto disc. So, I think DVD recorder ought to be replaced with a redirect to optical disc recorder and its former contents moved to digital video recorder (which I believe is the correct term). -- 220.239.141.84 14:44, 1 April 2006 (UTC)
DVD Recorders needs it own entry. No manufacturer of standalone DVD Recorders ever markets or refers to their products as DVRs. DVRs are strictly hard drive-based set-top boxes (like TiVo and Replay).
This entry deals with the internal optical drives that DVD Recorders and DVD burners contain.
My stance on this is that the two should in no way be merged. An Optical Disc Recorder is referring to the actual DRIVE of which writes onto Digital Media whereas a DVD recorder is a standalone Video recording device more likened to a VCR. DVD recorders have built in tuners, timers and record ONLY video whereas an optical disc recorder records DATA. Now I'll be the first to point out that Video stored on a DVD is, by nature, data; however a DVD recorder cannot record Word documents, spreadsheets, pictures etc. in the way that an optical disc recorder can. Therefore, whilst a DVD recorder may be said to have an Optical disc recorder as a component, the system itself cannot be determined as such. Readers of the article on DVD recorders will have little, if any, interest in how the data is physically burned onto the disc (which is described in detail in the optical disc recorder article) but will more likely have an interest in the features usually entailed in a DVD recorder (such as timeslip recording and dual tuners) and the principle of a DVD recorder and it's use in the home as the step on from that of the VCR. Of course I'm open to arguments to the contrary but I'm advocating the complete retention of DVD Recorder's article status distinct from that of an optical disc recorder. Maybe the individual who proposed the merge would indeed care to give his reasoning for the merge or defence of his POV. Thanks, c-bro 16:56, 22 August 2006 (UTC)c-bro
I suggest renaming this to Optical drive. This is plainly strange, there is no article at all about CD/DVD drives (as opposed to CD/DVD discs). This article is better than nothing, despite it covers (for now) only the writing part. I'm sure the reading part will be contributed soon.
Current Optical drive which, surely by mistake, redirects to Optical disc should be "speedy deleted" first. -- Kubanczyk 21:48, 13 September 2007 (UTC)
I wanted to close this RM, but I'll plainly refuse. Not because it doesn't make sense per se, but because all the optical drive technology pages are a major mess, and there's no consistency whatsoever to use anything as precedent. I see some 30 pages largely overlapping in contents, often with copy/pasted parts, small stubs without context, redirects pointing to unexpected places... Can someone please study a bit Wikipedia:Summary style and make a major reorganization and merging. Should I start enumerating? I understand that this is a huge job, but moving or not moving this page would be only a paliative solution. Is there a relevant WikiProject? Duja ► 09:15, 19 September 2007 (UTC)
I can't find how to edit the table on the right.

Many people are experinceing many problems with all acer products. Most problems seem to be the hings of the notebooks/laptops break easily, the screens start to display lines over everything, and the hard drives stop working partially or totally and need to be replaced. From my readings about acer on the net and dealings with acer, I urge eveyone to not buy any acer products as they are inferior products only good for one thing, expensive paper weights.
I urge everyone not to buy acer or at least read about all the problems that perople have had with acer. —Preceding

"Optical disc drives that are no longer in production include CD-ROM drive, CD writer drive, and combo (CD-RW/DVD-ROM) drive.". Is there a source for this information? I find it rather hard to believe that CD-RW/DVD-ROM combination drives are no longer in production, given that many computers continue to be made with them instead of Blu-Ray drives, and much software distributed on optical media continues to be distributed via the DVD-ROM format.

It would probably be worth mentioning that disk explosions are incredibly rare (possibly adding the qualifier of "on rare occasion"). I've only had them happen three times to me in all my extensive computer use, of which two of those times had the center ring chipped on the disk before hand. Most standard computer users have never seen it happen. That isn't to say it doesn't happen, and it exponentially happens more often starting at around 56x rotation speed. -- 24.160.188.8 ( talk) 08:47, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
There's an apparent logical break with the sentence,
"Some drives can only read from certain discs, but recent drives can both read and record, also called burners or writers. ".
Seems to go in two directions. I propose we change as follows,
"Each drive has it’s own level of support for different media standards. Some support only reading of media, though recent drives generally do support media writing(called burners or writers)."
