Optical Storage Technology

Optical storage technology uses laser beams to read and write data on discs like CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs. Data is stored as tiny pits and flat areas on the disc's surface; lasers detect these variations to retrieve information. This method offers a reliable and long-lasting way to store large amounts of data, such as music, videos, or software. It is valued for its durability, resistance to environmental damage, and the ability to easily access specific files without needing to load entire storage devices. Optical storage remains a common choice for distributing and archiving digital content.
