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
I use them for archival backups of personal media.
And why do you prefer this over USB sticks (thar are dirt cheap nowadays)?
Mostly because I already have a burner and two 75-count spindles of blank DVDs.
Sweet! I still haven’t started doing offsite physical backups. I do have backups locally and encrypted in a third party cloud, but no physical copies…
