CD-R
A CD-R (Compact Disc-Recordable) is a variation of the Compact Disc invented by Philips and Sony. CD-R is a Write Once, Read Many optical medium (though the whole disk does not have to be entirely written in the same session) and retains a high level of compatibility with standard CD readers (unlike CD-RW which can be rewritten but has much lower compatibility and the discs are considerably more expensive). Some people jokingly refer to these media as CD-PROM since they are the optical analogy to Programmable read-only memory.


Example:

Philips Optical Worm 12gb 12in 1024b/s (LM6000) Media
