Explanation

Cold HDD (sc1) EBS volumes are the most cost-effective choice for SAP HANA archive files. sc1 is designed for large, sequential, infrequently accessed workloads - exactly what archive storage represents. It is the lowest-cost EBS volume type and can be mounted as a local file system on an EC2 instance, replicating the on-premises HDD setup. General Purpose SSD (gp2) and Provisioned IOPS SSD (io1) volumes are significantly more expensive and optimized for high-performance transactional workloads, which is unnecessary for archival data. sc1 aligns with the on-premises HDD cost-optimized strategy while meeting the local file system mount requirement.
