Preferred written form The two preferred forms differ by a single character. In Taiwan the standard term is 碟片; on the Mainland it is 盘片 - both point at “disc”.
Taiwan’s Ministry of Education dictionaries record 碟片、盤片 for this concept. The Mainland standard is among them - the difference is which form each side makes the default.
Neither term carries an HSK or TOCFL level in this table - this pair is dictionary-recorded, not syllabus-derived.
