DVD±R/W (also written as, DVD±R/RW, DVD±R/±RW, DVD+/-RW, DVD±R(W) and other arbitrary ways) handles all common writable disc types, but not DVD-RAM. [1] A drive that supports writing to all these disc types including DVD-RAM (but not necessarily including cartridges or 8cm diameter discs) is referred to as a "Multi" recorder. [2]
^4 DVD+RW discs did not work in early video players that played DVD-RW discs. This was not due to any incompatibility with the format but was a deliberate feature built into the firmware by one [which?] drive manufacturer. ^5 Read compatibility with existing DVD drives may vary greatly with the brand of DVD+R DL media used.

Original CD-ROM drives could read data at about 150 kB/s, 1× constant angular velocity (CAV), [1] the same speed of compact disc players without buffering.

The term was used almost exclusively by Apple as a name for the low-end substitute for their high-end SuperDrive , as the latter was designed to both read ...
