I was browsing a technical store’s website and came across some DVDs. On sale. You’d need an optical drive to use them, unless you use them to decorate your walls

If you do use them, what do you use them for and why do you not just use hard drives, SSDs or USB thumb drives instead?

This is not a hate post. My whole existence is living in the 90’s, so… :P

      My question exactly, although there seem to be stability issues with cheap thumb drives. I bricked two of them within six months from absolute normal use. :/

      I’ll occasionally make a DVD for a friend of a friend who doesn’t have a device that can play files directly.

      Other than that, I don’t use em. Could probably benefit from storing stuff on them as backups though.
