I haven't looked at that one in detail, but I would be surprised if the
print costs are more than £1.

I've got a couple of Pis with 1TB 2.5" SSDs attached, neither of which
are in cool places.  Using smartctl, I check the disk temperature every
30 minutes, and the highest temperature I've seen is 48 degrees,  Mean
is low 30s.  Space available means that the disks and Pis don't have to
be stacked together.
