Enjoy the Advantages of Physical Media Using DVD+RW CD, DVD, and Blu-ray Drives

Years before the ubiquity of USB thumb drives and other solid-state data storage, the easiest way to transport large amounts of data was to do it via an optical drive and a disc. These physical data storage mediums were only able to be written on by a computer through an optical drive and could store anywhere from 1 GB to 50 GB depending on the standard you used.

What Is Blu-ray?

  • Compared to DVD: Blu-ray still uses an optical disk drive to be written and read but is able to store much more data than CDs or DVDs. Blu-ray continues the with the goal of DVD in providing increased quality for audio and visual applications and does it well. Many high-definition movies are written on Blu-ray because of its inherent large capacity and its native HD support.
  • Other Iterations: The standard was improved in 2015 with the introduction of the Ultra HD Blu-ray disc format. This had the same data storage and physical size of previous discs but was designed in such a way to fit more data that supports native 4K resolution, making it ideal for home and professional theater applications.
  • On Laptops: With such a large data capacity, it is easy to see that a computer like a Toshiba laptop with an optical drive is advantageous for those who want an easy way to physically archive files. Optical drives are useful for video editors and content creators who do not want a NAS but also want the ability to easily organize and archive old footage and project files.

What Is the Advantage of a Laptop with an Optical Disc Drive?

  • Detailed Movies: These optical drives have specific hardware that allows them to be backward compatible with older standards. For instance, the Toshiba Satellite P55T-B5262 Windows computer has an optical drive that can play DVDs and CDs, making it an option for watching your collection of movies in any physical format.
  • Data Storage: The hard disk that comes with your Windows computer could definitely be a limiting factor in the future. But those with no intention or knowledge to properly upgrade their machine or those with no interest in doing so can opt for storing files on good old discs. With dual-layer discs available in every standard, you can also comfortably store lots of data files and projects in these thin plastic discs.
  • Archiving: When a NAS or external hard disk is beyond your reach, consider using discs as an archiving option. They are easy to label, are compact, and stack well. You can also easily play home videos on players with drives that support your disc standard.
