There’s currently little reason to choose SSDs over HDDs when you’re talking about bulk storage for media. HDDs have plenty of R/W speed for this purpose and are a fraction of the price. New, you can buy 8TB drives for around $100 or used/refurbished (from somewhere like serverpartdeals.com) you can buy 14TB for $150 or even 20TB+ for $250.

My raid has an nvme bcache on it, so it’s still fairly quick.

$100USD is just what it costs in Australia, because we get screwed for price over here.
