My understanding is that tape drives are still the basic thing for long term storage, and that they are more robust for long term storage than disc drives. And way, way, way, cheaper. I used to work at a company that like, we had so many bankers boxes of hard drives laying around, we actually got in trouble with fire dept for them blocking the hallway a bit. So that could be an option, that is, hot swappable drives.
My home server is a 42 tb nas. It cost me about 1k to set up and honestly it’s been very worth it.
