You can find a DVD burner for less than $199 if you shop around well. Also DVD-R media is less than $1 from ebay or some online sites. So let's do the math..
$199 for a DVD burner
50x $1 disks
250$ for 50 x 4.5gb = 225gb (dvd aren't 4.7gb that's a marketing trick).
So for $250 bucks you got yourself a dvd that can be used in anyone's dvd drive and is good for 100 years in the storage box.
Not to mention you have a DVD burner too =)
