maybe my naming scheme for archive storage isnt the best...
@fuchsiii you really should consider investing in a cheap case and 2,5" hot swap drive bays...
@fuchsiii also you propably should consider using at least #DUP, #RAID6 / #ZRAID2 or #mdraid10 (in redundant striping configuration)...

Or a file-based (de)duplication approach as well as a database similar to #LTFS indexes and #TapeLibraries do.

IMHO as #Flash prices continue to fall faster than #HDD's can, you'll likely want to see something like the #NeoFloppy:

As it also allows for automatic and human-readable lables...

Basically you're having a very primitive #NearlineStorage setup there...

Otherwise consider a real #backup server like #Proxmox Backup Server:

@kkarhan@mstdn.social@fuchsiii comsidering the fact that you're looking for a cheap sotrage medium with few writes yet virtually no seek time, it may be possible to achiveve competitive pricing per TB close to scalable Tapes using cheap #eMMC-based #flash similar to cheap #microSD cards.
As you'd be generally satisfied with USB 3.0 & SATA-6G speeds, that should be feasible and considered a low-effort #NeoFloppy design...
