Scan storage purchases once to track media lifespan, warranty proof, compatibility risk, and targeted rebates.

People building large personal archives buy expensive drives, tapes, adapters, and used hardware across scattered marketplaces, then lose track of provenance, generation compatibility, and true cost per terabyte. Receipt-reward apps prove users will scan purchases for small incentives, but they do not serve specialized high-value categories like archival storage.
High-volume storage hobbyists and receipt-reward users both generate valuable purchase data, but archival media buyers need that data turned into lifecycle tracking, compatibility planning, warranty proof, and deal intelligence rather than generic grocery cashback.

I am not going to use this for business purposes, it is for my personal movie collection of 1:1 backups of all my DVD/Blu Ray/4K and CDs. I already have over 100 TB and will be needing somewhere around 500 TB longterm. Seems like LTO-6 is the best bang for the buck, but I also know once I get started, I won't easily be able to upgrade above LTO-7 unless I have duplicate hardware to read all my LTO-6 backups. Part of me is thinking just spend way too much money and go with LTO-8 or 9, no way I can afford 10.
