Why is the word disk sometimes written as disc, e.g. a flash disk and a DVD disc?

Disc is the way you say it in the English language however, in computer related points of interest, it is spelled with a k. Example: Flash disk, Hard Disk Drive.

______________________________________

The spelling of "disk" versus "disc" can depend on the context and the region. In general, "disc" is used to refer to a flat, circular object, while "disk" is used more broadly to refer to any thin, flat object that can store data. The two spellings are often used interchangeably, but there may be some regional or contextual differences.
