If you are looking to replace your CD-ROM drive with a drive that can handle a large amount of data storage and play high-definition videos, the best option would be the digital video disk (DVD).
While both solid-state drives (SSD) and hard disk drives (HDD) provide large data storage, they are not optical drives and would not directly replace a CD-ROM drive if that is your concern. However, if you want improved storage capacity and speed for data handling beyond optical formats, SSDs are the best for performance.
So, if you specifically want a drive that is similar to a CD-ROM drive but offers better video capabilities, go for digital video disk (DVD).
