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

    No, and my only readers are on the old workstations I use as servers. Bigass thumb drives just do more better and have since 16 gigs made a thumb drive bigass

      I agree. It’s just some much simpler to use a thumb drive. However, I also agree with those that comment that they are prone to bricking and malfunction of some sort.
