100 TB of HDDs is negotiable. $2000, maybe. You could blow more on a GPU. There are people who will buy that much hard disk storage, on this website, on any given day. Data hoarders could nitpick the dollar figure I just named, without double-checking.
100 TB of SSDs would cost at least three times as much. Nobody should buy 100 TB of SSDs in 2023. Most likely, nobody should buy 100 TB of SSDs in 2024. Gavin Free of the Slo Mo Guys has a ridiculous RAID cluster... suitcase... for downloading and editing obscenely large video files, and it's still only 48 TB, and he got it for free to advertise the company that sells such ridiculous objects. If money means anything to you, or "time is money" is not as literal as it is for a slow motion photographer, I cannot recommend buying one.
