I think having a backup solution is the better choice here. You can use your SSDs until they die or become too slow, and you won't lose your data if it breaks before you replace it after a year

Any particular provider you would recommend? I've looked into backblaze but it seems a bit pricey. Also: I am aware that cloud based backup solutions have very little failure rate in terms of drives since they're probably using RAID

I use Backblaze's B2 (think S3) style storage for backup, and I'm paying about ~$4.50 USD for ~1TB of storage per month. I don't use a ton of bandwidth though, so if you have a lot of churn in the files you're backing up you could see higher costs, but looking over the numbers Backblaze as the cheapest solution by far to others I looked at.
