So my family has a few containers of unused blank dvds that are just lying around collecting dust. i know dvds are almost useless because of streaming, but can they still be used. Theses dvds can only be written to once and they only have like 3 gb of storage on them, can they still be used?, do they have a use?

Flash drives work, tho, and can be updated with new versions

Oh yeah definitely more practical but I like having a few discs around for emergencies and older PCs
