Dvd-rw Ram Rom?

[Rip_Uk]

Can someone please tell me exactly what the RAM and ROM function on my nec dvd-rw can do?

well dvd-rom is just a typical disk drive, the ram thing was something started by I believe Panasonic, but I don't really remember right now. ANyways, it came out with the whole +-r/rw thing, Panasonic claimed it could be rewritten like 250,000 times or something crazy, I guess they kinda wanted to pass it off as like an extention to your hard drive or something, but to answer your question simply, it's just another form of dvd rewritable, one that really didn't take off very well

oh so if i get RAM disks, they are like re-writables?

RAM disks are like RWs but BETTER! REALLY awsome technology. My DVD Recorder(works like a VCR) can use DVD-RAMs and it's extreamly fast compared to R's or RWs

is it faster to copy the disks?
