Yes.

There are other ways to archive your photos, however. An SMR drive should be cheaper than a CMR drive. An external drive stored disconnected from your computer offers better safety than an internal drive that's always connected. (If the computer fries, then it fries.) You could also store your photos on CDs/DVDs. The rule of thumb is to have 3 copies of your stuff: 2 on different devices/media and 1 in a different location. This is the 3-2-1 rule.
For cmr Nas rated drives, it's a good price
CDs/DVDs are a terrible medium for long term storage… Come look at my unusable CD collection that is so cloudy that it can't be read anymore. Two 10 TB hard drives in two enclosures or better yet, different locations would be best. Look into a cloud service like AWS Glacier or google photos pixel back door backups.

It was the norm (for internal bare drives not external drives that can be shucked for which $15/TB was the good deal and not to be mixed with this) before the crypto craze and then it went off the scale. Coming back to norm is good or not depending on how you look at it,

Just use one or more of the free quotas between the various cloud services for backing up photos. You can save a lot of photos in even 5GB free storage amd they will be lot safer than any home system.

These drive capacities become relevant only when you have a video collection for which cloud services become expensive and bandwidth a bottleneck depending on amount of data.
