A regular DVD only stores about 4 GiB of information. A Dual layer DVD can store about 8 GiB. But USB flash drives which store 32 GB are now very common and I believe it's easy to find 64GiB drives. Probably every year or two this will double. So it makes little sense to continue supporting the CD/DVDs for portable storage. Soon enough even a dual layer 8 GiB DVD is going to be much like a 1.44 MB floppy disk. It will be a joke for storage.
