its like a game of roulette, sure it can work, but for how long. At least with ssd and nvme you have an idea for much can be written before failure and even then I make sure to back up to the cloud.
These kind of drives are only ok for stated use, as a game drive that you don't care to lose, cause you can always download again.
I keep a small plastic container full of various USB female to type C male connectors and use these [amazon.com] for my 5TB one.

Go for HDD for long term archiving. From what I read before, SSD is not a good solution for an archive because it stores data as electric charge in its cells and the charge may eventually disappear when the SSD is offline for a longer period of time ( = couple of years). Manufactures actually guarantee one year only data retention when the SSD is offline ( = without power). Data on HDD are more persistent. The best for archive is probably tape drive which is what I heard most major companies use for archiving.
