I looked up LTO magnetic band drives and decided that it wasn't worth the cost _yet_ (I will track them), for now I decided on an affordable CMR HDD that will have more than enough space. I would probably not write to it that often, but definitely have to be keep in mind to replace it every ~4 years, it costed about 100€ for 8TB which is not a huge sum to me. I had multiple HDDs fail to me but none that were properly powered like this, just the plug and play ones.
