I don't think HDDs are cheaper. If you compare a 400 Gig HDD for 110 USD, thats 0,272$/GB and a 100 pack Verbatim spindle for 30 USD is 0,06$/GB.

You forgot enclosure and Jewel case. Where I live it's 0.28125 vs 0.17021 units. However, I was going to save much time by switching to HDD. And time is money.

HDD for long term storage is questionable, unless you are willing to have multiple drives & regular re-transfers

So the idea is now to have the same data on 2 hard disks. Let's assume I rewrite all data once a year. Would that be reliable enough?
