Will buying multiple cheap HDDs be foolish for long-term Storage Keeping? (zerobytes.monster)

Hello! I recently found myself looking for a way to safely store old family photos, after one of my drives stopped spinning when I tried plugging it in (It was thankfully fixed by professionals!)

After reading around on websites and reddit posts, I think I will try using the 3-2-1 rule with 10tb hard drives. Question is though, will buying cheap drives matter if the same data is stored on 2 other drives? Or should I still invest in quality drives for long term?

Thank you!
