Term · Computing and IT · MLC-T-CMP-000173

A Compact Disc-ReWritable, an optical disc format that allows data to be written, erased, and rewritten multiple times. It uses a phase-change alloy in its recording layer that can switch between crystalline and amorphous states. This reusability makes it suitable for temporary data storage or backups.
