What are the different uses for CD-R and CD-RW discs?
Once data is written to CD-R media, the data cannot be overwritten. Thus, CD-R media is suitable for data archiving, including important documents such as contracts and proof of records such as accounting documents and the like. Another major feature of CD-R media is their high compatibility with nearly all CD-ROM drives. In comparison, CD-RW media can be repeatedly overwritten and therefore the best solution would be for frequent backups of your hard disk drive.
