DVD-RAM drives are now available; I think I've seen them for under
US$1000.  The disks themselves are probably under $20, and they should
store just under 5 GB of data.  If you routinely create files larger than a
GB, that's probably the most practical way of storing them.  But why do you
need such large files?
