It's the same with DVD optical drives. A Blu-Ray reader (or player) is a drive or a stand alone Home Theater appliance that can play or read Blu-Ray movies or read Data on Blu-Ray discs. A blu-Ray burner is a drive that can write or "burn" data on Blu-Ray discs.
I'm actually using a USB Blu-Ray burner with my system. It's from a company called DIGISTOR. Very very nice. Hope the answer helped.
They are different names for the same device.
CD writer = CD burner, is a computer drive that allow you to storage(burn/write) stuff on a CD or DVD disc
No, by default GX520 comes with a built-in device which is CD player and burner + DVD player.
Yes. The drive type is DVD-Writer, which reads and writes to CDs and DVDs.
because it is a DVD burner, not a CD burner
No. The laser in a CD burner is too wide to write to a DVD properly.
No you need a burner.
The only difference is the hyphen.

If you have a CD burner, yes
A CD Writer is an OUPUT device.
The same as the difference between a phonograph record and a phonograph. The CD-ROM is where the data is stored. the purpose of the CD-ROM drive is to read it.
You can convert a CD to MP3 using a disk burner. A disk burner will burn the information on a CD and convert it to MP3 format where you can listen to the music.
