    No. Not really

    For long term storage LTO is the answer.

    If cost/ lifetime storage are the only factors

    I prefer drives; it is a cost I’m willing to pay as speed is more important, at home —At work we have both because 3-2-1

    However I have been looking at tape for home use for some long term storage

        Western digital external. My book 20tb or whatever size works for you. I blew through a 12 and 16 filled with photos and videos…

        USB 3 and portable; I use exfat as my friend keeps a copy at his house.

        And I just rotate through 3. One at home one at work and one with my friend.

        FreeFileSync to keep everything updated
