If you go used on LTO you can get a drive a few generations back for not insane prices, but it's still not entirely competitive with additional spinning rust.

Yeah, it seems once you go back far enough where the drives are reasonable, the capacity is just too low to be cost-effective vs buying a HDD or two.
