Please note that the content of this book primarily consists of articles available from Wikipedia or other free sources online. In computer hardware, a caddy refers to a sheath used to hold some media. If the medium is a hard disk drive, the caddy is also referred to as a disk enclosure, which is discussed there. It also refers to optical disks, such as CD-ROMs, which are the focus of this article. The purpose of a disk caddy is to protect the disk from damage when handling; their use dates back to at least the Capacitance Electronic Disc in 1976, and they were used in initial versions of Blu-ray Discs, though newer versions use hard-coating technology to prevent scratches and do not need a caddy. Caddies may be an integral part of the media, or separately attached.
