Liked your thought process on storage. However I usually carry two SSDs on each of my trips to have at least two copies of my work. Once I go back home, I transfer the data from one ssd to another lower cost HDD which holds about 20TB. That would become my backup and I continue to access the images from the remaining SSD from Lightroom. But I like your idea of keeping one ssd dedicated per year. Do you just keep one copy of your work or keep in multiple places?

I actually shoot onto two cards in-camera, and I keep one SD card as additional backup up until the edit is done. Hope this helps.
