Depends on the size of the data.

If your dataset is below 1-2Tb it would cost you less than $200 in a decade to move to a newer HDD every 5 years.

That used to be my method but I decided to "upgrade" to paying backblaze to manage that method for me and just in the nick of time too as my SSD crib-deathed soon after.
