Term · Industrial and trades · MLC-T-IND-000649

An optical disc drive that reads and writes data to Blu-ray discs, which offer significantly higher storage capacity than DVDs or CDs. It uses a blue-violet laser with a shorter wavelength than red lasers, allowing for a smaller spot size and denser data storage. Single-layer Blu-ray discs hold 25 gigabytes of data, while dual-layer discs hold 50 gigabytes.
