A DVD-ROM drive is a type of optical disc drive that reads data from DVD-ROM discs, which are digital versatile discs designed for storing large amounts of data, including movies, software, and games. Unlike DVD-RW or DVD-R drives, a DVD-ROM drive can only read data and cannot write or erase it. These drives are commonly found in computers and some standalone players, serving as a means to access content stored on DVDs. They are gradually being replaced by digital download and streaming services but are still used in certain applications.
