Good day every one. Thank you for letting me in the community. I just started dabbling with archiving data

I'm currently archiving some rather big compressed files 200+ GB. Weighing some options. I considered buying a HP LTO 5 class tape drive(Its more in my price range then the newer ones) . Looking at the Tape media cost, I'm seeing maybe a better option to just get a bunch of hotswappable 2.5" 1.2Tb SAS drives for a older HP dl360. Then just hot swapping them out like tapes. I really did want a tape drive though. Any one know of a good benefit to a tape drive other then them being super cool?
