    1. Capacity: DVDs have a much larger capacity than CDs, and can store up to 8.5 GB of data, compared to 700 MB for CDs. This makes DVDs more suitable for storing large amounts of data, such as video and audio files.
    2. Speed: DVDs have a slower read and write speed than CDs, which means it takes longer to access and transfer data from a DVD than it does from a CD.
    3. Compatibility: DVDs are compatible with a wider range of devices than CDs, and can be played on most DVD players, as well as on computers. CDs, on the other hand, are only compatible with devices that have a CD drive.
    4. Durability: DVDs are more prone to scratches and other forms of damage than CDs, which can make them less reliable for storing data. CDs, on the other hand, are more durable and less likely to be damaged.
