Identify the optical drive's read or write capabilities.
Optical Info is designed to detect the optical drive's (CD / DVD drives) Read/Write capabilities. When looking at the front of a computer which is not your own it is often difficult to tell whether the optical drive installed is either a CD ROM, CD Writer, CD Rewriter, DVD ROM, CD Rewriter + DVD Combo, and DVD/CD Rewriter. Optical Info can also be used to eject and close the CD/DVD drive.
