25GB and 50GB disks written at blistering 10MB/s in the age of 100MB/s Gigabit Internet connected to storage (S3, Backblaze, etc. etc.) means that networks have completely obsoleted Blu Rays.
I'm surprised they still found a use of these things. Flash drives are also so much cheaper, faster, and more convenient.
One TB capacity in a sd micro flash disk equivalent to twenty Blu-ray discs at 50GB, just no comparison in the growth of technology.
I know for some secure purposes they still use CDs because they're a lot harder to sneak around than a flash drive. There are still some uses, but they're very niche. There's essentially zero purpose for personal use.
