Sure, if you don't mind storing stuff and then never reading them again.

To be fair, I have a lot of stuff I am storing that I have no realistic reason to ever need or want to read again as it is.

Never read again? These can’t be modified, but they can be read. After all, it’d be pretty useless to store data on a medium than can never be read.
