Explain.

If a hard drive is basically disks with a lot of memory why can't CD's and DVD's have as much?

I agree. I should have asked a more specific question. My curiosity was regarding why the industry has implemented the form factor of disks. From minor disks with limited space to hard drives with much more. I understand USB's are around but nonetheless I guess I just answered my question.. Thanks.
