This question is inspired by [_this answer on SuperUser_](https://superuser.com/a/1828714/11116) by Proger_Cbsk.
The RID is the Recorder IDentification. It uniquely identifies the drive that wrote the CD/DVD.
What software if anything can read the RID written by a CD-RW, or DVD-RW? According to the linked answer,
> Oddly, the INCITS standard has a command to read the RID in a DVDR, but not for a CDR !
I would like to read the RID of a CD and DVD,
* DVDR: I would like to know how to issue the standardized command to read the RID
* CDR: I would like to do the same for CDRs. If this is drive-vendor specific, that is fine. I will purchase that drive.
