I guess the storage space of the box isn’t an issue there is no acute reason to throw them way … but feels like hoarding. I see no good reason to keep them.
They are not reliable long-term storage. Any file that I want to retain long term goes on a redundant disk array with data scrubbing and a proper backup.
But even if I were to store something temporarily on an USB stick, I’d just use my single 512GB stick (which costs $40 these days) instead of having to potentially plug in dozens or hundreds of low capacity sticks.
