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.

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.

CDs/DVDs are a terrible medium for long term storageā¦ 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.
