Explanation
Traditional hard disk drives (HDDs), especially slower 5,400rpm models, offer by far the lowest cost per gigabyte of any listed option. They are ideal for archival/bulk storage where speed is not a priority. NVMe SSDs (A) are fast but expensive per GB. 15,000rpm SAS drives (C) are high-performance enterprise drives with a high cost per GB. SCSI RAID (B) is an enterprise-grade, expensive solution. For rarely accessed, cost-sensitive archiving, the 5,400rpm HDD is the correct recommendation.
