The editor would like to share with you what kind of device the CD drive is in the computer. I hope you will get something after reading this article. Let's discuss it together.

Optical disc drive is a device for reading optical disc information, and it is an indispensable hardware configuration for multimedia computers. The CD drive has a motor to rotate the disc, a motor to drive the laser needle to read data, and a third motor to drive the insertion and exit of the disc.

CD-ROM drive is what we usually call CD-ROM drive, which is a device for reading CD-ROM information. Because the optical disc has large storage capacity, cheap price and long storage time, it is suitable to save a large amount of data, such as sound, image, animation, video information, movies and other multimedia information, so the optical drive is an indispensable hardware configuration for multimedia computers.

Optical disc drives are calculated by inserting disks at a constant speed in revolutions per minute (RPM), usually in the range of 1600-4000 RPM, where the speed provides faster data reading time rotation work. The rotating disk of the optical drive is read out with a laser beam propagating using a lens embedded in the head of the optical disc drive. Optical disc drives mainly use advanced technology attachment (ATA) bus or serial ATA bus to send and receive data from computers together with minicomputer system interface (SCSI).

With the popularity of multimedia computers, the application of CD-ROM is becoming more and more popular, and there is a growing demand for multimedia CD software. therefore, it can be said that it is common to have a drive on one's own computer. However, because of its large size and the popularity of flash drives, more and more portable computers no longer have built-in optical drives to make room for other hardware.

The mechanical equipment of the drive is very similar to the floppy disk drive, in which there are three motors that control different functions. There is a motor used to rotate the disc, a motor that drives the laser needle to read data, and a third motor, which is responsible for driving the insertion and exit of the disc.
