DELL D9330 optical disc drive Internal CD-ROM Grey

A CD-ROM is a type of media that is played in a CD Drive. The different types of CD drives are CD-R, CD-RW and CD-RW/DVD Drive Combo.

CD-R drives can only read from CDs, while CD-RW can both read and write from/to CDs. On the other hand, CD-RW/DVD drives can read and write from/to CDs as well as read from DVDs.

The speed of the CD will determine how fast the data can be read or written on the CD. It is independent of the type of drive.

The drive form factor attribute determines the chassis type that it is compatible with. A CD Drive for small form factor will not work with a full size or an ultra small form factor chassis. Similarly, it is important that the interface type of the drive be compatible with that of your computer.

When a CD-Drive is listed to be compatible with a system, it is assured that the interface type and the form factor are compatible. We recommend the System Drill Down or the Service Tag look up feature in Parts For Your Dell™ tool to choose correct CD drives for your system.
