Optical storage is a type of data storage that uses a laser to read and write data to a disc. The data can be stored on the disc in a digital format, and can be accessed by a compatible device with an optical disc drive.
CD (Compact Disc) and DVD (Digital Versatile Disc) are examples of optical storage media that are not typically reusable, as the data is written permanently onto the disc during the manufacturing process.
ROM (Read-Only Memory) is a type of non-volatile memory that is used in computers and other electronic devices to store data that cannot be changed or altered.
RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of volatile memory that is used in computers to temporarily store data that can be quickly accessed and changed by the CPU.
RW (Rewritable) is an acronym used to describe optical storage media that can be written to and erased multiple times, making them reusable. Examples of rewritable optical storage media include CD-RW and DVD-RW discs.
In summary, the acronym for reusable optical storage is typically RW, which stands for Rewritable.
