Or BD-Rs. 50GB on a single dual layer disc. Haven't finished the last spindle I bought, but I assume they're the cheapest per GB by now.

Checking diskprices.com - https://diskprices.com/?locale=us&condition=new,used&disk_ty... - there's a cheaper outlier for DVD-R, then it's 25GB BD-Rs for a bit.

LTO tape can be cheaper, but the cost of the drives has long been an obstacle to dabbling.
