content: I still use my DVD drive. As far as storage goes DVDs are still very cheap. You can get a blank DVD for 25 cents or less. That's 25 cents for 4.7 gigs. It's about $5.00 for an 8 Gig USB flash drive, which is $0.62 per gig. The DVD is around 5 to 6 cents. They are extremely disposable, which makes them a good choice for certain things.
