- less can go wrong
Hmm, my experience of writing CDs and DVDs is that *lots* can go wrong. Don't get me wrong, they work OK in general and I do copy stuff to CD/DVD, but there are often issues with compatibility, unclosed disks, etc.
CDs? DVDs? Surely these archaic technologies are long overdue for going the same way as the floppy disk? I haven't owned a system with a working optical drive for about 2 years and I haven't missed them at all.
CDs are for music and DVDs are for films. Data which must be moved goes over the internet, on cloud storage, or on removable SSDs.
