| CD-ROM | CD-ROM or Compact Disc Read-Only Memory are optical media CD discs that are manufactured with the data embedded onto the disc at the time of its creation. These discs are stamped (also known as molded or replicated) using high-end injection molding machines that produce a finished disc (all but the print on the surface). CD-ROM discs are typically created in quantities of no less than 1,000 pieces at a time due to the nature of the production process. CD-ROM discs can in some cases be more universally compatible than CD-R type discs; however, the production process can take much longer. |
