If you just need them for backup, I'd just get regular HDDs, and even better, put them outside of the PC into a separate system, even a raspberry pi 4 with USB HDDs would do. I use burp backup at home https://github.com/grke/burp (I run the server on a separate Linux PC with 2 HDDs in mirror), it's pretty simple to set up, if you're familiar with Linux and editing config files.
