Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000171

A Compact Disc-Recordable, a digital optical disc storage format that allows data to be written once and read many times. The recording layer is typically made of an organic dye that changes its reflectivity when exposed to a laser. Once data is written, it cannot be erased or overwritten, making it suitable for archival purposes.
