How reliable are CDs/DVDs as a form of media for data storage?

I have a stack of unused CDs (700MB) I got from my uncle some years back. I’ve only used a few of them for file testing and offline music for the car. Perhaps I can put copies of photos on a few of them? I already have an external hard drive and several loose internal hard drives, all of which have plenty of data already with some room for more. I just kind of want to use these CDs. lol

P.S. I’m a somewhat novice to data hoarding
