So what did you decide?
Haven't pulled the trigger on storage options yet but will continue to apply the great insights from the forum. The reminder that a drive slated for back-ups only doesn't have to be blazingly fast: that will be a money-saver. Also will consider one larger back-up HDD vs. the rag-tag collection I have now (although I still worry about having too many eggs in one basket. Yes, I also have cloud back-up).
Don't forget to consider RAID 1 when developing your back-up plan. It essentially provides an onsite backup of your onsite backup. Two 8TB or 16TB drives in the enclosure discussed earlier in the thread will service you well for many years.
