Archive Tapes were used by Linus Tech Tips for their massive storage needs,
you were asking for Trisquel Studio before if I'm not wrong, which leads me
to believe that if you are a creative type your storage needs might mean that
these tapes are cost efficient for you. I do not think that this format is
good for frequent overwrites, but for longterm storage.
I personally use HDDs for most of my personal media/docs/programs because
price per storage value that I get is adequate only my main computer has a
SSD of 120 gb for installed programs, if it die no biggie. I frequently
change and delete and reinstall distros and while having a stable working
distro backup. I also encrypt my SSD's so I imagine that the frequent
overwrites and subsequent encryptions are destroying the little bits inside
it.
My advice is to go low storage SSD if you need to be a lil cheap like me, but
get it from a reputable brand! I think I have a Crucial SSD and its lasted me
since Sept 2019 when I first got my x200. I would estimate 100+ OS
install/reinstalls over the past year.
