I use enterprise SSDs for cloud images and VM volumes, I have about 7TiB useable of that. I don't know how data recovery from an SSD is, I think for a lot of issues you would have to replace the logic board and hope some sorcery works to figure out the ordering of data with wear leveling algorithms. Rust one can often recover data with something like ddrescue. I don't worry too much, with replica count of 3 for both flash and rust I can lose two drives with the same 4 MiB block and be fine, if the failing drives are within a chassis I can lose two whole nodes before I have data loss. I wish I had access to a tape library though, just it is hard to justify the upfront cost. My cluster has organically grown over the last ten years or so, making a huge near $8000 single purchase for a new tape drive, plus however much automatic tape rotation costs (I presume I need some sort of tape library for that? I have never used tape before) would be hard to justify.
