New drives are more like 20€ per TB. Factor in redundancy with something like raid 5 and boom, off-site storage costs you a government toppling 20 000€ in hard drives.

And then you buy the storage from Dell or some other big player and the disk array with controllers, warranties and the kitchen sink costs 100k€. Which is still almost a rounding error on that scale.
