DVD RAM
DVD is a format to store optical data. It is used as a storage medium for movies with very high video and sound quality. The DVD RAM or the DVD Read-And-Write Memory is a disk specification. The DVD Forum came up with it in 1996 and since 1998, DVD RAM has been used in computers, camcorders and personal video recorders. The name is a shortening of the words Read-And-Write Memory and not Random Access Memory. Thus the acronym can be misleading. This disk has many small rectangles on its surface. It has concentric tracks and is accessed like a usual floppy disk or hard drive.
