What is Blu-Ray? not Blue-Ray

Blu-ray Disk (BD) is a new optical disc format with high storage capacity. It was developed by Blu-ray Disc Association (BDA) and world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer and media manufacturers. A single layer disk has a capacity of 25GB, about five times of a DVD and a dual layer has a capacity of 50GB.

Most of the High Definition Videos are written on blue-ray disks giving an extraordinary HD experience for the consumers. DVD, DVD±R, DVD±RW, and DVD-RAM are based on a red laser to read and write data but Blu-ray uses a blue-violet laser instead. Blu-ray is currently supported by most of the world's leading consumer electronics, personal computer, recording media, video game and music companies.

Hard drive store changing digital information in a permanent form

Hard drives, hard disk drives or fixed disk drives are random access digital magnetic data storage devices. Hard Drives are very important part of a computer. Most of desktop computer and servers in use today contain one or more hard-disk drives. Every mainframe and supercomputer is normally connected to hundreds of hard drives because they need more space for their work. You can even find VCR-type devices and camcorders that use hard drives instead of tape drives. These billions of hard drives do one thing well and they store changing digital information in a relatively permanent form. They give computers the ability to remember things when the power goes out.

Seagate, WDC Western Digital, HP / Compaq, Samsung and Hitachi/IBM are the best companies for hard drives. Most computer users are using 250 GB-520 GB Hard Drives. If your computer is more powerful then you can use use more data storage capacity. A computer will not function to well without hard drives. So hard drives are very important for computers to function.

Combo Drives aka Combination Drives

A Combo drive is a type of optical drive that combines CD-R/CD-RW recording capability with the ability to read (but not write) DVD media. The term is used almost exclusively by Apple Inc. as a name for the low-end substitute for their high-end SuperDrive, which was designed to both read and write DVD and DVD recordable media. The device was created as a mid-range option between a CD burner and a DVD burner, which at the time the Combo drive was introduced was generally an expensive option costing in excess of US$300 a unit.

Combo drives are becoming less and less common on new systems, though they do occasionally appear in lieu of CD-only drives on low-end computers and business computers to lower production and sale costs. The cost difference between a Combo drive and DVD burner has been steadily declining in recent years, so most new PCs (except for the low-end budget computers) have a DVD burner (which also reads and writes CDs).

In current Apple computers, none contain Combo Drives. As of October 2008, the MacBook comes with a SuperDrive as standard, and as of March 2009, the Mac mini comes with a SuperDrive as opposed to the usual Combo Drive
