Last time I used DVD for that was on a POWER5 system and it was a SCSI attached media library, not a standalone DVD drive.

Agree that RDX would be better than DVD but not sure I would depend on RDX for my document storage as they have no redundancy!

Honestly though, what would they be used for?

For scanned documents in document management systems, which was less
expensive than DASD storage. But now RDX is a better solution.
