Digital Versatile Disk Random Access Memory
DVD-RAM

    (DVD-RAM) Rewritable DVD media that is recordable
   on both sides, giving up to 9.6GB of storage.  A drive can
   record to disk and read from it at the same time, so the term
   full duplex is often used.  There are two general types of
   media: traditional discrete disk in DVD or Jewel case, and one
   in a permanent case like a large floppy; the disk remains in
   the case, and the case goes into the drive.  The former can
   sometimes be read by regular DVD drives; the latter obviously
   cannot.
