The difference between disc and disk.
Discs
A disc refers to optical media, such as an audio CD, CD-ROM, DVD-ROM, DVD-RAM, or DVD-Video disc. All discs are removable, meaning when you un-mount or eject the disc from your desktop or Finder , it physically comes out of your computer.
Disks
A disk refers to magnetic media, such the disk in your computer's hard drive, an external hard drive. Disks are always rewritable unless intentionally locked or write-protected. Disks are usually sealed inside a metal or plastic casing (often, a disk and its enclosing mechanism are collectively known as a "hard drive").
