Certainly nothing could be cheaper long-term than just building some very large systems with raided 16TB drives - I could help you figure that out pretty easy. Having said that, if its the choice make sure you design a raid type with enough sparing. Also, any data that is just on a single system should have another copy somewhere else, for sure.
