In HS photography class the teacher gave us CD-RW discs to use as flash drives to keep our pictures on and they actually lasted all semester using them every day.
i never thought the rw discs worked well enough to be trustworthy but for the application you described ie not critical it did the job. damn i remember those days. so glad about usb drives and now i guess everyone just uses cloud.
