Recently CD’s and DVD’s have become very cheap, both in respect to the
disposable media and the burning hardware. Buying a CD or DVD burner has
become an affordable solution to making back-ups and a lot more.
CD media and burners have been around for a very long time. They have
become very affordable for many. CD’s have a capacity of 750mb and re-writable
ones can be bought. CD burners have dropped dramatically in price. So much so
that they have become an absolute standard for any new computer. Some
computers have multiple CD burners to make burning multiple copies of data a
lot easier.
DVD media and burners were released a while after CD’s. They cost more
than CD’s but also offer better features such as 4.7gb of storage space and
compatibility with DVD players. DVD burners and media cost more than CD’s but
the price gap is slowly closing. Most new computer will have DVD burners or at
the very least DVD readers.
Using removable media for task such as back-ups, movies or music has
become very popular with consumers. It’s simple, can be taken anywhere and is
very affordable. In the case of back-ups it’s a viable solution to making
off-site back-ups of important data and documents.
These two technologies have become a part of everyones lives but may
soon become obsolete. In the near future different technology standards will
be released. Sony is set to release the blu-ray technology that’s set to
change the way we exchange data. It will have at least double the storage
space of DVD’s and products such as the Playstation will incorporate this new
standard.
The second is HD-DVD. This stands for High Definition DVD. This will
have an even sharper image than the current DVD’s and will also have a lot
more storage space. Deciding when to embrace these new technologies will be
up-to the consumers.
