NEC's Multi CD-R Optical Disk Drive is three drives in one. Using phase-change optical recording technology, it provides you with the following:

Insert a CD and it's a CD Reader
Insert CD-R media and it's a CD Recorder
Insert an optical cartridge and it's a Rewritable Drive

CD READER
Read all standard CD-ROM formats at up to 20x speed including music CDs (digital audio), CD-ROM modes 1 and 2, CD-ROM XA (mode 2/form1/form2), CD Extra, Photo CDs (supports multisession), recordable CDs, CD-RW media, and video CDs.
CD RECORDER
Create your own CDs of favorite music or distribute data which can be read by over 150 million installed CD-ROM readers. Or, archive your important data. Supports track-at-once, packet writing, and disc-at-once.
REWRITABLE DRIVE
As a removable and rewritable disk drive, the 650MB cartridges are ideal for storage of multimedia files, database files, and system backups. Also works great for online storage. Using a 512 byte/sector format, it works just like a floppy or hard disk drive. Just drag and drop files.
REWRITABLE CARTRIDGE

Phase-change optical media is a non-contact recording medium which results in exceptional reliability. The optical read/write head never touches the media, unlike floppy disk and magnetic tape read/write heads which are in constant moving contact with the magnetic recording medium.
Phase-change optical media is a non-magnetic recording medium which ensures that stray magnetic fields can never alter your stored data, thus ensuring data availability.
Every write operation is followed by an operation that verifies absolutely that the information you wrote will be there when you need it.
Phase-change optical media has a greater than 30 year life while ensuring more than 1/2 million write/erase cycles.
