I wouldn't go that far, my external media drives really don't get used as much it used to, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that people still using discs are now very uncommon anyway. Doesn't help that the blu-rays are still worse than piracy convenience wise due to the several layers of drm to bypass to be allowed to read a disc I own on hardware I own with software I also own...
Yeah discs are mostly a backup medium for me now, as I'd rather just read things off my server. :)
HOWEVER... I'm not absolutely swimming in terabytes as a lot of self-hosters seem to, which makes storage really suck right now.
...So we still use our blu-rays because I can't afford to just throw gig after gig on platters like that. :(
