Optical storage is made possible by data storage devices such as optical discs and holographic storage systems. This is different from other types of storage mediums that may use a magnetic surface (e.g. magnetic tape storage, a hard disk or floppy disk) or electrical charges (e.g. flash memory).

The term optical drive usually refers to a device to read CD-ROMs.
