A CD drive reads and displays data from a CD-ROM disc. It usually consists of a recessed disc tray and a reading head, which analyzes the grooves on the disc and converts them into viewable data. It can be installed in a computer internally or externally through an SCSI or a parallel port. An internal CD drive fits in a drive bay while an external CD drive is a plug in device.
