SSD have a write limit, not great for continuous storage. At work our ssd cards last about 2 years because we write and write more.
Spinny Disks are still cheaper by the gb. I have disks mirrored, machine still runs when a disk dies and I can put in a new one.
Data I care about goes to bluray and is stashed elsewhere.
I'm not seeing the charm of the proprietary enclosures. microsd cards are the same price/gb and much easier to store... Remember the cost of storage is not going up so buy what you need when you need it.

Just a weekly backup. Not long term storage (that's what the RAID NAS that's backed up to an ext HDD is for).
