- Discs are optical media like CDs and DVDs, which can be read-only, recordable, or rewritable.
- All discs are removable and physically come out of the computer when ejected.
- Disks are magnetic media like floppy disks and hard drives, usually rewritable unless locked.
- Disks are often sealed inside a casing and can be partitioned into smaller volumes.
