External Optical Drives External optical drives are peripheral devices designed to read and write optical discs, such as CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray discs, externally from a computer. These drives connect to a computer or other compatible devices via USB, USB-C, or other interfaces, providing additional or portable optical disc capabilities. Here are key features and aspects of external optical drives:   1. Types of Optical Drives:    - External optical drives can support different types of optical media, including CD-ROMs, CD-Rs, CD-RWs, DVDs, DVD-Rs, DVD+Rs, DVD-RWs, DVD+RWs, Blu-ray discs (BD-ROMs), and Blu-ray recordable discs (BD-Rs, BD-REs). 2. Connectivity:    - External optical drives typically connect to computers using USB (Universal Serial Bus) or USB-C interfaces. The USB connection allows for easy plug-and-play functionality. 3. Read and Write Speeds:    - Optical drives have specific read and write speeds, measured in multiples o...
