For the price of a 1TB SSD I can get you a 12TB/30TB Tape, easily between 10 or 30 times as much storage. And as a bonus, while a SSD is only guaranteed to retain data without power for a year, tapes are designed for decades of cold storage. Additionally, you could put up to 2x4x9 (HxWxD) tapes in there, at max capacity that is about 864TB/2.16PB The only downside is you need another 1U to read the tapes, though the rest is automatic if you have a robotic tape library.
