If you use a computer at home, school, or work, you likely are already familiar with blank computer media. There are number of options available when choosing such media. If you need to carry a word document or PowerPoint presentation to the office, consider using a blank recordable disc. Unlike drive-based media, most such discs cannot be used beyond their initial purpose. There is no danger in erasing or overwriting a file once the disc is recorded; this is an often overlooked advantage in using blank disc media. Security is thus built into this format.
Blank compact discs hold 650 Megabytes (MB) of data, while blank data video discs can hold either 4.7 Gigabytes (GB) or 8.75 Gigabytes of data. When choosing recordable disc media, check first that you have a recordable CD or DVD ROM peripheral installed in your PC. Note: certain older DVD recorders will only record data on the smaller 4.7 GB blank discs. It pays to check what specific hardware you have when buying blank disc media in bulk! The larger format discs are often referred to as "DVD9" or "Dual Layer." Most recordable DVD drives designed for computers now use both DVD formats.
Next, ensure that you have a program that will record (or "burn") your files onto the media you choose. There are a wide array of programs available. Some burning programs can be bought in a computer store or online. There are also some free programs that will perform basic backup functions. All such programs are dependent upon specific operating systems, but the good news is that there are many burning programs available for Windows, Macintosh and various varieties of Linux. Again, make sure you note how much data your blank disc can retain and that you are using the right program for your blank media and computer’s operating system.
Using blank discs can also be a cost effective choice for backing up data. These discs can be bought in bulk at many computer specialty outlets and even some grocery stores. They are also very cheap to send in the mail, and unlike flash drives or portable hard drives, these discs typically cannot be erased or easily damaged in transit.

How to Format Blank Computer Media?
There are different types of blank computer media available to consumers, such as DVD-RW or CD-RW disks. These are typically used for copying songs, movies, pictures and backing up data.

This screen will prompt you to select the action you would like to perform. • For this example, we will select “burn files to disc: using Windows” (but do what is appropriate for you). After the selection has been made, you will then be redirected to the appropriate disc burning application. In some cases, you will be asked to enter a title for the disc in which you are creating. • After you have entered the title of the disc, click “Next.” Another screen will ask you if you are sure you want to continue with the formatting. If you are sure, then click “Yes” to continue, if you are not sure then click “No” to stop the process. Once you have clicked to continue formatting, then you will see a box appear advising you of how long it will take to format the disc. After the formatting is complete, you will then see another box advising you that formatting is complete. • Once your blank computer media has been formatted, you can click “OK” to continue. Windows Explorer will appear and will provide you with options that are available for the disc. You are now ready to burn files onto the disc. Formatting blank computer media is a very simple and fast process.
