For mere backup/storage (as you say) nothing beats a good old HDD for £/gb.
However, one place where it does fall down is if you are using it for photo storage and routinely access those photos - it’s a very slow process. I use an HDD for my back catalogue of RAW photos and occasionally I’ll have to dig into it to find some photos and it is a pain.
But as I said, if it’s just backup to sit in a drawer then HDD all day long.
Don’t know how they keep selling these without fulfilling previous orders
