Best Answer

Optical drives such as CD or DVD writers store data as described in the question. When these drives write, they use lasers, and the lasers etch into the ink/dye that is located inside the label of the CD or DVD. The laser causes the ink to change colors. The write speed of the medium is determined by the speed at which the ink can change colors. The faster the chemical change takes place, the faster it can be written to.
