If you have enough data: Tapes. Tapes are so hilariously cheap to keep. Write them and keep them in a fire proof box. No power needed to keep platters spinning. 45TB/tape!
I have never used tapes, but I want to use it if it's viable. I only have about 3TB of data currently.
Tapes only make financial sense if you're in the hundreds of TB.
Personally I consider a tape only a valid solution in the 100+TB range. (At least cost wise) Unless you happen to have a tape drive already at your disposal..
