The capacity may exponentially exceed requirements, but will the
lifetime?
One thing which makes WORM worthwhile is the increased confidence it
gives that the data will be there tomorrow.

With 82GB IDE drives going for about $300, WORMs aren't worth it.
Buy a monster disk drive and configure it as your backup device.
By the time it fills up, buy another; it'll be 500GB for $200 then.
