With the advent of devices that use a laser to read information and receive optical media in the form of disks, on the shelves of stores you can find such goods as a disk for cleaning the laser. However, people often see such an opinion that these discs not only do not bring any benefit, but also harm the device. In order to understand this issue, it is worth considering what types of pollution the cleaning disc can eliminate and how it can harm.
It should be noted that such discs should only be bought in company stores or from well-known manufacturers. Although this also applies to ordinary ones, a factory defect or defect cannot be attributed to the disadvantages of cleaning discs. At the same time, you can find several options or models of such products in the store that differ in design and level of cleaning.
The most popular is a cleaning disc, which combines several methods of removing contaminants. It looks like a regular CD-ROM, but it has special fibers on the carrier side and additional holes throughout the area. This design allows you to use a DVD cleaning disc on almost all devices of this type, and at the same time it has three levels of contamination removal.
Firstly, such a disk, launched on the drive, immediately begins to develop high speed, and thanks to additional holes that create the effect of the blades, it forms air streams that blow off all the dust from the lens of the reader. To clean more serious contaminants, special fibers are used that come into mechanical contact with the lens and clean it. Many cleaning discs are sold with a special liquid, which should be applied in small quantities to the villi, providing more thorough care.
Thus, it becomes clear that due to the cleaning disk, dust and other dirt, which accumulates there during operation, are removed from the lens of the reading device. Moreover, if you use a copy with holes, you can blow air through the entire cavity of the device.
However, the cleaning disc also has disadvantages. This is especially true for products with additional holes. The fact is that in the manufacture of such a disk its structure is greatly weakened, and with the slightest damage, such a disk can fly into the drive and damage it. Also, a cleaning disc with such holes is intended for purging, but not all devices can withstand such a treatment. Since at the time of its use, the dust swells throughout the device and may cause a short circuit.
Therefore, we can conclude that it is worth using cleaning discs at short intervals for prevention. In this case, products that have mechanical damage or additional holes should not be used. In any case, it is necessary to purchase goods from manufacturers who have proven themselves well in the market and have positive reviews.
