Optical drive (select models only)
Your computer may include an optical drive that expands the functionality of the computer. The optical
drive allows you to read data discs, play music, and watch movies.
Identifying the optical drive
▲ Select Start > Computer.
You will see a list of all the devices installed on your computer. You may have one of the following types
of drives:
● DVD-ROM Drive
● DVD±RW SuperMulti Double-Layer (DL) with Light Scribe Drive
NOTE: Double-layer discs can store more data than single-layer discs. However, double-layer
discs burned with this drive may not be compatible with many existing single-layer DVD drives and
players.
● Blu-ray RW Drive
● Blu-ray ROM DVD±RW SuperMulti DL Drive
NOTE: Some of these drives may not be supported by your computer.
Using optical discs (CDs, DVDs, and BDs)
An optical drive, such as a DVD-ROM drive, supports optical discs (CDs and DVDs). These discs store
information, such as music, photos, and movies. DVDs have a higher storage capacity than CDs.
Your optical drive can read standard CD and DVD discs. If your optical drive is a Blu-ray Disc (BD) drive,
it can also read BDs.
NOTE: Some of the optical drives listed may not be supported by your computer. The listed drives are
not necessarily all of the supported optical drives.
Some optical drives can also write to optical discs as described in the following table.
