Looking in the catalog of a local store that sell computers (among other
office stuff) at big price, I was amazed by a new product:
OnStream 30Gb floppy drive, 450$cnd. The 30Gb 'floppies' cost 65$cnd.
But 1 come with the drive. I have no reference to know if the
transfer rate of 1Mb (I suppose by second) is fast. Like fast enough
to play movies. I guess you could put put about 6 or 7 movies on one
of these 'floppies'. This seems to connect on IDE.

So I suppose soon enough, some company will make software that fill
one of these floppies. :-)
