About these units
CD (80 minute) (CD (80 min))
The 80-minute CD expanded storage to 700 MB, offering a modest but meaningful increase over the 74-minute version. This capacity became the industry standard for audio production, software, and media distribution. The slightly denser data-spacing required careful calibration but proved reliable for most computer and consumer hardware. For many users, CD-R and CD-RW discs became a primary means of personal backups, music burning, and long-term storage before USB drives became widespread.
DVD (1 layer, 2 side) (DVD (1L, 2S))
A single-layer, double-sided DVD offers 9.4 GB, with 4.7 GB per side, requiring the user to physically flip the disc. Double-sided DVDs were ideal in early DVD-era box sets and archival applications, but their inconvenience—no label side, no artwork, and manual flipping—limited consumer adoption. They represent a transitional form of optical media designed to increase capacity before dual-layer technologies became mainstream.
