Isn’t that just CD with less storage?

I’ve never met someone that didn’t hate their rewritable CDs. After a few months of reading/writing they would go bad.

I agree, some floppies are particularly bad as well, but most I’ve handled worked okay

No, to write to a CD, you need to use specialized software, not just a simple copy.

Plus what about copying to replaced a files already on the CD ? I believe you need to clear it first then rewrite everything back. CD are about as inconvenient as a media can get.
